Bombay High Court grants bail to 'terror trainee', cites extended pre-trial custody

India Today  

The Bombay High Court has granted bail to Faizal Hasamali Mirza, an alleged Lashkar-e-Taiba operative accused of travelling to Pakistan for terror training, citing his extended pre-trial custody. Mirza, who has been in judicial custody since his arrest in May 2018, was arrested by Maharashtra's Anti-Terrorism Squad following a tip-off from the Kolkata Special Task Force. Authorities alleged that Farooque Devadiwala, a relative of Mirza and an associate of underworld figure Dawood Ibrahim, facilitated Mirza’s travel to Dubai and Karachi, providing logistical support, including funds and airline tickets. A division bench of Justices Bharati Dangre and Manjusha Deshpande noted the protracted nature of Mirza’s custody, ruling that justice would be better served through bail than prolonged detention.
