Delhi HC grants bail to British national Jagtar Singh Johal in 7 UAPA cases: The Delhi High Court on Friday granted bail to British national Jagtar Singh Johal in seven UAPA cases. A division bench of the Delhi HC comprising Justice Navin Chawla and Justice Ravind Dudeja passed the order after considering Johal’s bail appeals in seven matters being heard by the bench.
According to National Investigation Agency(NIA), the incidents were allegedly part of a larger conspiracy linked to the Khalistan Liberation Force. Johal is charged with targeted killings in Ludhiana and Jalandhar districts of Punjab. Johal was arrested in 2017 in connection with the case. A detailed order in this matter is still awaited.
The trial court had earlier declined bail to Johal in the cases. Five bail applications were rejected by the NIA Special Court in September 2022, while two others were rejected in April 2024. The Delhi High Court had subsequently dismissed his bail appeals in September 2024. The matter thereafter reached the Supreme Court. On July 15, 2026, the top court remanded the cases to the Delhi High Court for fresh consideration of Johal’s bail pleas. The High Court has now allowed the appeals and granted bail.
