\n

Delhi High Court:<\/span> In an appeal filed under Section 21<\/a> of the National Investigation Agency Act, 2008<\/a> challenging the orders passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Patiala House Courts, Delhi (\u2018the Trial Court\u2019), whereby the detention period of the appellant (\u2018accused\u2019) was extended and his default bail application was dismissed, the Division Bench of Subramonium Prasad*<\/span> and Harish Vaidyanathan Shankar JJ., stated that the material on record indicated that the accused persons including the present accused, were active members of ISIS. The Court stated that the accused persons were propagating the ideology of the ISIS and trying to recruit youth for furtherance of the objectives of ISIS in banned organisations. The Court stated that the order of the Trial Court extended custody not as a matter of routine but based on credible material outlining the investigative steps requiring completion.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the Court opined that the Trial Court\u2019s order of detention was not mechanical in nature. The accused could not have been released on account of ongoing investigation as releasing them at a crucial stage would have impeded the investigation and accordingly, dismissed the present appeal.<\/p>\n

Background:<\/h3>\n

In the present case, an FIR was registered in Delhi, based on the information that the accused along with other co-accused, were conspiring to commit terrorist acts in Delhi and adjoining areas. Multiple raids led to the arrest of the accused persons, including the present accused. On 19-10-2023, the Ministry of Home Affairs transferred the Delhi FIR to NIA, which was re-registered under Section 120-B<\/a> of the Penal Code, 1860<\/a>, Sections 18<\/a> and 20<\/a> of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967<\/a> (\u2018UAPA\u2019) and Sections 4<\/a> and 5<\/a> of Explosive Substances Act, 1908<\/a> (\u2018ESA\u2019). Main allegations against the accused persons were that they were propagating the ideology of ISIS and radicalising impressionable youth.<\/p>\n

Based on the disclosure statements of the accused and his co-accused, 15 more individuals were arrested. Further, the search and arrest led to recovery of cash, arms, and digital materials.The custody of the accused, including the appellant, was extended multiple times. On 11-3-2024, the Trial Court dismissed the appellant’s default bail application under Section 167(2)<\/a> of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973<\/a> read with Section 43D<\/a> of UAPA<\/a>, which led the appellant to file the present appeal seeking default bail.<\/p>\n

Case Analysis and Decision<\/h3>\n

On perusal of material on record and guidelines laid down in Zeeshan Qamar v. State (NCT of Delhi)<\/span>, 2023 SCC OnLine Del 1114<\/a> (\u2018Zeeshan Qamar case\u2019)<\/span>, the Court stated that the Trial Court has passed a reasoned order after due consideration of the statutory safeguards as prescribed under Section 43D(2)<\/a> of the UAPA<\/a>. The investigation progress was detailed in the Public Prosecutor’s Report, which clearly outlined the substantial investigation into the accused\u2019s ISIS involvement. The Trial Court was satisfied that the investigation had progressed significantly with the extensions and noted that the investigation had not been stagnant.<\/p>\n

The Court further stated that the material on record indicated that the accused persons including the present accused, were active members of ISIS. They were propagating the ideology of the ISIS and trying to recruit youth for furtherance of the objectives of ISIS in banned organisations. The Court stated that the order of the Trial Court extended custody not as a matter of routine but based on credible material outlining the investigative steps requiring completion. The guidelines laid down in Zeeshan Qamar case (supra)<\/span> were addressed and duly complied with in the impugned order.<\/p>\n

The Court observed that the Public Prosecutor\u2019s report also stated that mobile headsets recovered at the accused’s instance were being forensically examined for data relevant to the case. The Report also stated that the agency was engaged in verifying links between various accused and across jurisdictions, with some individuals yet to be traced or examined. At the time when extension of custody was sought, a large amount of cash was recovered and a trail of funds which needed to be investigated.<\/p>\n

The Court noted that at the time when extension of custody was sought, a large amount of cash was recovered and a trail of funds which needed to be investigated. The Report also suggested that there was apprehension that if the custody of the accused persons was denied then there was a high likelihood that the present accused and his accomplices would escape from the clutches of law and destroy material evidence, threaten witnesses and damage the case of the prosecution.<\/p>\n

The Court further observed that the Public Prosecutor\u2019s Report also suggested that the accused and his co-accused were allegedly active members of the banned terrorist organization ISIS, with a purported nexus to its unlawful activities. It was also asserted that the accused persons convened meetings and actively supported the organization in furtherance of unlawful activities. Thus, based on this, the report urged that continued detention of the accused persons was essential to national security.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the Court opined that the Trial Court\u2019s order of detention was not mechanical in nature. The accused could not have been released on account of ongoing investigation as releasing them at a crucial stage would have impeded the investigation.<\/p>\n
