"Payment of extortion money does not amount to terror funding:" Supreme Court grants bail to accused charged under UAPA

The Supreme court noted that while considering the grant of bail under Section 43(5)D, it is the bounden duty of the Court to apply its mind to examine the entire material on record for the purpose of satisfying itself, whether a prima facie case is made out against the accused or not.

"A close scrutiny of the material placed before the Court would clearly show that the main accusation against the Appellant is that he paid levy/extortion amount to the terrorist organization. Payment of extortion money does not amount to terror funding," the Supreme Court held.
