Summary: The Supreme Court granted leave and allowed criminal appeals filed by Jharilal Mahto and Manoj Kumar Choudhary in NIA cases involving charges under the IPC, Arms Act, Explosive Substances Act, and UAPA. Finding the appellants had undergone prolonged incarceration (7 years 9 months and 6 years respectively), the Court set aside the lower orders and granted bail subject to trial court conditions. The trial court was directed to complete examination of defence witnesses within three months. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
