|Madras High Court
Section 227 CrPC | Discharge denied when prima facie UAPA case established : Madras HC
The Madras High Court held that a discharge petition under Section 227 CrPC is barred when the prosecution has shown a prima facie case under the UAPA, meaning terrorism charges cannot be sidestepped by early release. This sets a clear precedent for all UAPA-accused awaiting trial.
