Bombay high court: No Navlakha links to overt or covert terror acts

The Bombay high court granted bail to Gautam Navlakha, a human rights activist and journalist accused in the 2018 Elgar Parishad case. The court stated that no overt or covert terror acts have been attributed to Navlakha. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) relied on "hearsay" evidence to link him to terrorist activities. Navlakha can be described as a member of the banned CPI(M) party. The court also mentioned that he deserved bail on parity with others in the same case.
