Delhi HC Issues Notice To NIA On Plea By Kashmiri Youth Mateen Ahmad Bhat Challenging UAPA Charges

The Delhi High Court has issued notice to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in response to a plea by Kashmiri youth Mateen Ahmad Bhat, challenging the framing of charges against him under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).

The bench of Justices Pratibha M Singh and Amit Sharma has scheduled the hearing on November 14, along with appeals from co-accused individuals.

NIA Accuses Bhat of Terror Links

Bhat was arrested in October 2021 based on an NIA FIR, accusing him of supporting terrorist groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Hijab-ul-Mujahideen (HM), and Al Badr.

Bail Granted, but NIA Appeals

In May 2023, a Delhi court granted Bhat bail, stating no evidence linked him to handling weapons or radical education. The NIA’s appeal against this bail is still pending in the High Court.
