Jammu and Kashmir is set to establish government-run rehabilitation centers statewide to aid recovering addicts.

National Investigation Agency has arrested Iqbal Singh alias Shera. He is a wanted narco-terrorist. His extradition from Portugal followed diplomatic and legal efforts.

The Supreme Court on Friday chose not to comment on observations questioning its earlier bail denial to activists Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam. While hearing bail pleas for other riot accused, the bench indicated it might grant interim bail, but will consider Delhi Police's plea for a larger bench review on UAPA bail norms.

In a landmark ruling, the Supreme Court underscored the primacy of bail, regardless of UAPA constraints, asserting that personal freedom must not be persistently restricted. By referencing the KA Najeeb case, the justices highlighted that extended detention without trial contravenes constitutional principles, challenging previous judgments that had sidestepped this fundamental right.

The latest judgment faulted two earlier rulings, holding them inconsistent with the landmark February 1, 2021 verdict by a three-judge bench of Justices N V Ramana, Surya Kant and Aniruddha Bose, which ruled that UAPA’s stringent bail conditions cannot be “used as the sole metric for denial of bail”
