Supreme Court Grants Bail to Landlord Accused of Aiding PFI Members

The Supreme Court has granted bail to a landlord accused of assisting members of the Popular Front of India (PFI) involved in criminal cases. The Court emphasized that bail, rather than jail, should be the norm, even under special laws. Justice Abhay S. Oka’s bench affirmed that bail is the rule and jail is the exception, and refusing bail in such cases would violate the accused’s right to life under Article 21 of the Constitution.

The Court acknowledged the seriousness of the prosecution’s allegations but stressed that it must assess the case based on the law. The landlord faces accusations of aiding PFI members who are implicated in conspiracies and terrorist activities.

PFI, established in 2007, emerged from the merger of three South Indian Muslim organizations: the National Democratic Front of Kerala, Karnataka Forum for Dignity, and Manitha Neethi Pasarai of Tamil Nadu. The merger was finalized during a meeting in Kozhikode, Kerala, in November 2006, with the official announcement of PFI’s formation occurring on February 16, 2007, at a rally in Bangalore during the Empower India Conference.
