Mumbai, Dec 8 (IANS): After the Supreme Court rejected the NIA's plea against the Bombay High Court's December 1 verdict granting default bail to lawyer-activist Sudha Bharadwaj, the route was clear for her release from the prison as soon as the bail formalities are completed.

A Special NIA Court said on Wednesday that Bharadwaj, who was granted default bail last week in the Koregaon Bhima-Elgar Parishad case, can be released from jail on furnishing the surety of Rs 50,000.

The Special Court also allowed her to submit a cash surety, paving the way for her release either later today or tomorrow from the Byculla Women's Jail, after spending over three years in custody.

As per the high court directions, Special NIA Judge D. E Kothalikar also set the terms and conditions for the bail, including that she must reside in Mumbai, not to leave the city without the court's permission.

Her plea to travel to Chhattisgarh, or Delhi was rejected by the court which also barred her talking to the media about the case, attend proceedings of the trial and ensure it is not delayed due to her absence.

Bharadwaj was arrested by Pune Police on August 28, 2018 in connection with the Koregaon Bhima-Elgaar Parishad cases and slapped with charges of the stringent UAPA. Later, the NIA took over the case probe in January 2020.

The investigators claimed in the chargesheet that documents found from some of the co-accused and other evidence established her links with Naxal activities and the banned CPI (Maoist).

    A clear case of miscarriage of justice of denying Bail to a citizen on speculative conspiracy theories and at the end the Court denying the opportunity to Sudha to put up her case to the public as the court has denied her the permissionto speak to the press about the case. The Court remained silent on the media trial unleashed by the Central Agencies with the help of Godi Media to tarnish her personal image and indulge in character assasination with selected leaks to the media.

    Justice denied to Sudha Bhardavaj for three long years and her personal freedom and Liberty has been snatched away by a Govt that is hell bent on waging a war on its own citizens. At the end of three long years the Court puts restriction on her not to talk to the press about the case. How unfair a system to deny her the oppurtunity of stating her case to the people after a prolonged media trial with all manufactured conspiracy theories by the Central Agencies.
