Supreme Court stayed the release of ex-DU professor and others from jail while suspending the Bombay High Court judgment discharging GN Saibaba in a UAPA case accusing him of Maoist links.
The Apex court said that the trial court had convicted him after a detailed appreciation of the merits of the case. The offences charged against Mr. Saibaba are very serious and against the interests of the society, sovereignty and integrity of the country.
The Apex court refused Mr. Saibaba’s lawyer’s plea to let him continue in house arrest considering the fact that he is 90% disabled and wheelchair-bound.
The Supreme Court also issued notice on Maharashtra’s appeal against the discharge of Saibaba and others for lack of sanction and irregular sanction, respectively.
The next hearing is fixed on December 8.
