The Punjab and Haryana High Court has granted bail to Akasdeep Singh, also known as Munna, who was accused of hoisting a Khalistani flag atop a government building in Moga, Punjab in 2020. The court's decision, delivered on April 1, focused on balancing national security concerns with the right to personal liberty, stating that further pre-trial incarceration would cause grave injustice. Singh had been detained for over five years as an undertrial prisoner, and his initial bail plea was rejected by a special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Mohali. The High Court noted that while the allegations under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) are serious, continued detention without trial could violate his constitutional rights under Article 21. The court set bail conditions, including a bond of ₹1 lakh and compliance with restrictions. The ongoing trial still has multiple witnesses to be examined, highlighting the judiciary's role in balancing security and individual rights.
