    Court Decision Summary The Bombay High Court granted bail to advocate Surendra Gadling, who had spent 7 years and 11 months in pre-trial detention on UAPA charges, while all 15 co-accused were already released. The court applied the *Union of India v. K.A. Najeeb* principle, holding that prolonged incarceration combined with unlikely trial completion within reasonable time justifies bail despite statutory restrictions, balancing constitutional rights against investigation interests.
