[UAPA] Delhi High Court to examine whether accused should be given public prosecutor’s report while extending remand beyond 90 days

The Court is seized of five appeals challenging the trial court’s order extending detention period from 90 days to 180 days.

One of the appeals is by Zeeshan Qamar who was arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for allegedly travelling to Pakistan and receiving training in handling explosives as ISI was plotting a serial blast in India.

Another petition is by Kashmiri photo-journalist Mohammad Manan Dar challenging extension of his detention. Dar has also sought his release on default bail citing failure by the investigating agency (NIA) to file chargesheet in the case.
