The High Court of Kerala rejected the petitions filed by two persons hailing from Andhra Pradesh, who were arrested under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) for their alleged links with the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), reports indialegallive.com on April 14. Noting that the offences alleged against them were of a grave and serious nature, the Division Bench of Justice Alexander Thomas and Justice C.S. Sudha denied bail to the accused. The High Court, while taking in view the material which showed the alleged involvement of accused number 5 & 6 in the activities of CPI-Maoist, ruled that they cannot be granted bail.
