The prosecution had placed heavy reliance on chats retrieved from various devices seized from the accused to establish its case with respect to the accused.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court after perusal of the chats retrieved from various devices of the accused, observed that in the accused was clearly conveying to the other person that despite of him being well placed in an IT company, he was not happy as he was unable to do much for Jihad. Apart from the above, the Court stated that the recovery of incriminating material recovered from the mobile phone of the accused showing Pro-ISIS material showed that the accused was deeply influenced with the philosophy and ideology of the ISIS. The Court stated that the chats reflected that the accused was not just a passive supporter of ISIS but was determined to further its activities by influencing other individuals at various platforms.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court stated that the ISIS had been declared to be a terrorist organisation, and judicial notice could be taken of the fact that the world at large knew about the activities of ISIS. The chats retrieved from the accused&#8217;s devices further reflected the accused&#8217;s intention to join ISIS (Dawlah) and was ready to perform Hijrah (travel) for the same. The Court observed that in two sets of chats, it was the accused who was asking other persons for finding a way to reach Dawlah.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court stated that as already noted, the accused was an educated person and was well-aware of the nature of activities of ISIS. Moreover, it was not a case of passive support to a terrorist organisation, but rather the chats, showed that the accused was advocating Jihad to establish Khilafat. By doing so, the accused was also trying to recruit the individuals on these online groups for such acts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thus, the Court opined that the mandate of Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001554066\" target=\"_blank\">43(D)(5)<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002808781\" target=\"_blank\">UAPA<\/a> was clearly applicable, and under these circumstances, the impugned order did not warrant any interference.
