Syed Iftikhar Andrabi v. NIA
Supreme Court of India2026 INSC 503Bench: Justice Ujjal Bhuyan, Justice R. Mahadevan
Restrictive provisions under Section 43-D(5) UAPA do not oust jurisdiction of constitutional courts to grant bail where undertrial's right to speedy trial under Article 21 is infringed. Rigors of statutory bail restrictions melt down when trial unlikely to conclude. Smaller Benches cannot dilute larger Bench decisions.
