The Senior Advocate further said that even if it is admitted that a meeting took place between Saifi, Umar Khalid and Tahir Hussain at Shaheen Bagh, the protected witnesses’ statement does not reveal what was discussed in the meeting.
She further said that the same statement was used against Saifi in another case and the trail court granted him bail.
“Without pressure of UAPA, the court examined this and came to the finding that I can be released on bail. But the moment UAPA is imposed, the court comes to the conclusion that this was a grave conspiracy,” it was submitted.
