 UAPA ACT 

This act means an anti - terror legislation in this if a person gets arrested then that cannot be released easily.

K.A. NAJEEB CASE 

In this case it happened that the professor who was setting the question paper for B.COM. exam, in that there was objection in question paper for a particular religion. After that incident Najeeb goes to popular front of Indian which is an extremist organisation, gather them together and attack on 4th July 2010 over the professor and cut his right had above that they threw bomb over nearby public to make them feel scared

When this act gets into investigation it was found that the pre- planned conspiracy and Najeeb, others conspirators were get arrested under Unlawful Activity (prevention)Act. The case goes to the NIA Special Court agency, if any one was found co-accuse guilty then the person was given punishment 2 to 8 years imprisonment. After committing the act in 2010 Najeeb ran away from After committing the act in 2010 Najeeb ran away from police but few years later he was found again in 2015, then he got arrested. After the arrested he was kept under the judicial custody without any Trail in court for 5years. NCRB, national crime records bureau in this if a person is arrested under this act, then only 2.2% are found guilty only.

The provision which was laid in this case UAPA Section 43 D (5), in this provision it provides a especial rights to the state that if they feels about the case it's judgement can Deny or put Restrictions on getting bail to a person. This provision helps a lot to the prosecutors which makes a weapon in the case, by using this they can easily deny the released-on bail or on his own bond. The Article 21 includes a fundamental right which is right to have a speedy Trail (protection), and UAPA which includes section 43D (5) Restriction on bail (Restriction). So, the question was in this case that during the pending trail under trail peoples are going to have a speedy trail protection given under article 21 else will have UAPA ACT section 43 D (5) of Restriction will be prevail?

In the case till when the Najeeb was arrested to date, 2015- 2019 in that Najeeb had applied 6 times for a bail before the court by claiming that the accused under this act is being granted bail by the court but court always claims that Najeeb will not going to be granted bail since he was the main conspirators of the whole play and saying all these the special court rejected the bail application

Then Najeeb approaches to Kerala High Court against the special court and applies for bail application. The court granted the bail to Najeeb on infringement of right to speedy trail, access to Justice. This case overtaken by NIA National Investigation Agency approach to Supreme court were against the judgement to Kerala High Court, said that normal criminal laws does not applies on UPAPA ACT.

And it will not applies on it when NIA have strong any evidences against Najeeb but NIA says that there are 267 witnesses and some of the witnesses trial was still pending so this trail of the case will not be completed sooner, till then Najeeb had to stay in judicial custody. 

The accuse Najeeb says that people who were under accused in this act they got only 8yrs of imprisonment where he was kept in custody for 5nhalf years in jail without trail, he can't keep in jail for an indefinite period in jail and trail for a trail to be happen this was infringement of his right to speedy trail also given a reference of case Shaheen Welfare Association V. UOI.

Case Laws related to Defamation in favour of ClaimantCase Laws related to Defamation in favour of Claimant. TOLLEY Vs, J.S FRY & SONS LTD – (1931) Facts The defendants were owners of chocolate manufacturing company. They advertised their products with a caricature of the claimant, who was a prominent amateur golfer, showing him with the defendants’ chocolate in his pocket while playing golf. The advertisement compared the excellence of the chocolate to the excellence of the claimant’s drive. The claimant did not consent to or knew about the advertisement. Issue The claimant alleged that the advertisement suggested that he agreed to his portrait being used for commercial purposes and for financial gain. He further claimed that the use of his image made him look like someone who prostituted his reputation for advertising purposes and was thus unworthy of his status. At trial, several golfers gave evidence to the effect that if an amateur sold himself for advertisement, he no longer maintained his amateur status and might be asked to resign from his respective club. Furthermore, there was evidence that the possible adverse effects of the caricature on the claimant’s reputation were brought to the defendants’ attention. The trial judge found that the caricature could have a defamatory meaning. The jury then found in favor of the claimant. Held The House of Lords held that in the circumstances of this case – as explained by the facts – the caricature was capable of constituting defamation. In other words, the publication could have the meaning alleged by the claimant. The Lords also ordered a new trial limited to the assessment of damages. NEWSTEAD V LANDON EXPRESS NEWSPAPER LTD, (1939) Facts: A newspaper published a defamatory article about Harold Newstead. However, another person with this name brought an action in libel. He claimed that the article had been misunderstood as leading to him. The defendant newspaper recognised that they published the article. Also, they denied that they had the intention of being defamatory of him. Consequently, the claimant argued that the newspaper was under a duty. The duty was to give a clear and complete description of the correct person. Moreover, the claimant argued that the defendants were in breach of the duty. Issues: The issue in Newstead v London Express Newspaper, was if the reasonable persons would have understood the words complained of to refer to the plaintiff. Held: The Court of Appeal stated that in accordance with the current law on libel, liability for libel does not depend on the intention of the defamer; but on the fact of the defamation. Accordingly, a reasonable man, in this case a newspaper publisher, must be aware of the possibility of individuals with the same name and must assume that the words published will be read by a reasonable man with reasonable care.
