2020 Bengaluru Riots: Supreme Court Denies Bail To Accused, Directs Karnataka Govt To Establish Additional NIA Court For UAPA Offences
Live LawThe Supreme Court today declined to grant bail to Shabbar Khan, charge-sheeted in a Unlawful Activities Act, 1967 case related to the riots which happened in Bengaluru on August 11, 2020. On January 31, the matter was heard by a bench of Justices B.V. Nagarathna and Satish Chandra Sharma, the Court asked the National Investigation Agency how much time it would take for the trial court to frame charges and commence trial against the accused in the 2020 Bengaluru riots case. However, during the course of submissions, learned senior counsel for the petitioner brought to our notice the fact that the High Court in the case of Shoheb Ali @ Shajid Ali vs The State By Karnataka has recorded in paragraph 49 and 50 of the said order that there are as many as 31 NIA cases pending before the Special Court, NIA, pertaining to different years. In the circumstances, we direct that there shall be compliance of Section 11 of the National Investigation Agency Act, 2008, and in this regard, our attention was drawn by learned ASG on the proposal of MHA for setting up of exclusive courts for trial of NIA cases and communication issued by said Ministry dated 7-10-2924 to the State Government and Registrar General of High Court seeking their comment/consent for instituting of exclusive court at Bengaluru. It is needless to observe that learned Registrar General of High Court in consultation with State Government and after obtaining orders from hon'ble Chief Justice of Karnataka High Court coordinate with the establishment of an additional NIA Court for UAPA offences which are being investigated by State or NIA.
