Gokarakonda Naga Saibaba (Dr.) vs State of Maharashtra

Bench: 2 — <UNKNOWN>, <UNKNOWN>

In Brief

Dr. Gokarakonda Naga Saibaba sought bail in a Special Leave Petition under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967. The Supreme Court, after directing day-to-day trials to complete examination of material witnesses, found that all critical witnesses had been examined and cross-examined. Noting the petitioner's unblemished bail record and medical condition, the Court rejected the State's opposition and granted bail forthwith, holding that continued detention was unjustified once the prosecution evidence had been fully recorded.
