The Court cited prolonged incarceration without trial, insufficient evidence to establish a conspiracy and the presumption of innocence as reasons for the decision.
The appellants—Sujith Kumar Rangaswami, Amit Ramchandra Baddi, Ganesh Dashrath Miskin, Shrikant Jagannath Pangarkar, and Bharat Jaywant Kurane—were arrested by the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) Kalachowki, Mumbai, in 2018.
They were alleged to be members of right wing organisations and were charged under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), the Explosive Substances Act, the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), the Arms Act, and the Maharashtra Police Act.
