The Supreme Court has set aside the High Court’s bail grant to alleged Pakistani spy Jhabra Ram and directed him to surrender within two weeks.
The apex court has overturned the High Court’s decision to grant bail to Jhabra Ram, who is alleged to be a Pakistani intelligence operative. In its order, the Supreme Court directed the accused to appear before the court and surrender within a fortnight.
Jhabra Ram’s bail had previously been approved by the High Court, allowing him temporary liberty pending trial. The Supreme Court’s intervention reflects the gravity of the national security concerns associated with the case.
Legal experts note that the cancellation of bail underscores the judiciary’s caution in matters involving alleged foreign espionage, and the order will likely lead to his detention pending further proceedings.
