  • ‘Expression of dissent being taken as terrorist act'

    Hussain in the petition has sought setting aside of the provisions of UAPA invoked against him in the charge sheet filed in the alleged case of larger conspiracy behind the Northeast riots.

    The Delhi High Court on Friday issued a notice to the Centre, Delhi government and Delhi Police on a petition filed by former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) councillor Tahir Hussain challenging the invocation of provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act against him in connection with the Northeast Delhi riots.

    Justice Mukta Gupta, while seeking a response of the authorities within four weeks and a rejoinder affidavit within three weeks thereafter, listed the case for the next hearing on September 28.

    Hussain, in the petition, has sought setting aside of the provisions of UAPA invoked against him in the charge sheet filed in the alleged case of larger conspiracy behind the Northeast riots, and also quashing the grant of sanction for the prosecution of such offences.
