The appellant filed a criminal appeal under Section 21 of the National Investigation Agency Act, 2008, challenging the order dated 19th July, 2025 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge-02, New Delhi District, Patiala House Courts, dismissing his third bail application in connection with Sessions Case No. 8726/2016 arising out of FIR No. 166/2008 registered at P.S. Karol Bagh (Special Cell), relating to the Delhi serial bomb blasts of 13th September, 2008.
The factual background involved serial bomb blasts at multiple locations in Delhi including Karol Bagh, M-block market Greater Kailash-1, and Connaught Place, resulting in 26 deaths and 135 injuries. The terrorist organisation 'Indian Mujahideen' claimed responsibility via an email titled 'Message of Death' sent minutes before the blasts, accompanied by a PDF document elaborating their ideology and intent.
The Trial Court had dismissed the bail application primarily on the ground of the statutory bar under Section 43-D(5) of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and the seriousness and enormity of the charges. The High Court examined the appeal in light of the applicable legal standards under UAPA and the NIA Act.
