It viewed that the provisions of UAPA Act have been included only in order to deny\/delay the appellant from getting bail from the court and there is no other material to pin-point that the appellant and other accused had intended to commit the murder of the victim to create terror and fear among the public and people of other sections.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court further observed that <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">&#8220;the State police has referred the case to be investigated by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), however, said proposal was rejected by NIA which speaks much about the case of the prosecution&#8221;. <\/span>It relied on the judgement in <i>National Investigation Agency<\/i> v. <i>Zahoor Ahmad Shah Watali,<\/i> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/4Z7xc3LL\">(2019) 5 SCC 1<\/a>, wherein the Court laid down the aspects that need to be considered for deciding a bail application; and further took note of the ruling in <i>Union of India<\/i> v. <i>K.A.
