Referring to the para 6 of the People’s Union for Civil Liberties judgement, the Justice said that the result of a terrorist attack is not merely the physical or mental damage caused to the victim alone but the prolonged psychological effect it produces on the society as a whole… and a sense of fear and insecurity is created in the minds of a section of society at large.” In reference to the gruesome Delhi riots of 2020, Justice Mridul J pointed out that the accused has been charged with creating insecurity and fear in the public.
