The Supreme Court of India has ruled that the legal principle 'bail is the rule, jail is an exception' applies even to offences under special statutes such as the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). This decision was made on August 13 while granting bail to a man accused of renting his premises to members of the banned outfit Popular Front of India (PFI). The court emphasized that bail should be the norm, even in cases involving stringent anti-terror laws like the UAPA.
