A Division Bench of the Kerala High Court on Friday held that an application for anticipatory bail is not maintainable in cases registered for offences under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
The Bench comprising Justice P.B. Suresh Kumar and Justice C.S. Sudha observed that UAPA had been introduced for more effective prevention of certain unlawful activities of individuals and associations and for dealing with terrorist activities.
The statute as it stood now was one which had been amended in tune with the resolutions adopted by the Security Council of the United Nations under the Charter of the United Nations requiring the member States to take measures to combat international terrorism and take action against terrorists and terrorist organisations.
