(MENAFN- Kashmir Observer) Srinagar ~ In a major legal push to curb the misuse of judicial relief by individuals facing terror-related charges, Jammu and Kashmir Police have moved to cancel bail for at least 33 accused booked under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) across Sopore, Anantnag, and Shopian districts. Officials said the accused were found violating bail conditions and allegedly re-engaging in activities detrimental to public order and security.

In Sopore, police identified 11 individuals booked under UAPA who had been granted bail by the court but were later found flouting bail conditions. After verification of their post-bail conduct, police said the violations were“established beyond doubt”, prompting the initiation of formal applications for bail cancellation before the competent court.

A senior police officer said the move was aimed at ensuring that“judicial concessions are not exploited by those involved in anti-national activities.” The official added that bail is“a legal relief, not a licence to resume unlawful behaviour”, stressing that such individuals will face immediate re-arrest upon cancellation of bail.

Similarly, in Anantnag, police have filed nine applications for bail cancellation against accused persons facing trial under UAPA who were found breaching court-imposed conditions. Officials said several of these individuals had re-established contact with terror networks and were involved in activities“prejudicial to public peace and national security”.

The violations, police said, came to light through regular case reviews and surveillance of individuals released on bail.“The step reflects our resolve to ensure that legal reliefs do not become loopholes aiding those intent on destabilising peace,” a police spokesperson said, adding that the move underscores J&K Police's zero-tolerance policy towards any attempt to revive terror ecosystems.

In Shopian, police filed 13 applications for bail cancellation in similar UAPA cases, after several accused were found violating bail terms and re-engaging in subversive activities. The violations were“meticulously documented” through continuous monitoring, the statement said.
