Quick Glance: GN Saibaba Acquitted: Case Details and Verdict
- Former Delhi University professor G N Saibaba and other accused were acquitted by the Bombay High Court in a case involving alleged Maoist connections. The appeals by the accused were successful due to lack of convincing evidence.
- The convictions in 2017 were overturned as the courts found that the required sanction under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act was missing. The accused were charged with being members of the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist).
- Another court in October 2022 found the entire prosecution to be invalid due to lack of legal basis. Insufficient evidence and violation of legal procedures led to a "failure of justice" in the trial court's judgment against the accused.
- Following the overturning of the Bombay High Court verdict in October 2022, the case was remanded to a different court. The decision was based on insufficient evidence and an invalid sanction under the UAPA Act, resulting in the acquittal of the accused.
