Crl.A. 18/2011 BEFORE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR MADAN B.LOKUR HON’BLE MR JUSTICE A.K. GOSWAMI (MADAN B. LOKUR, CJ) This is an application filed by the appellant seeking bail. The appellant was arrested on 18-8-2010 under the Unlawful Activities (P revention) Act, 1967, inter alia, on the ground that she is an active member of a banned terrorist organization United National Liberation Front (UNLF) and is i nvolved in raising funds for terrorist activities. According to the respondents there was sufficient material warranting an investigation and examination of var ious electronic gadgets concerning the complicity of the appellant with terroris t activities. We find from a reading of Section 43D of the Unlawful Activities (Preven tion) Act, 1967 that the appellant can be detained for investigations for a maxi mum period of 180 days. It is submitted that 177 days have already expired and n o charge sheet has been filed. It is also submitted that the interrogation of th e appellant is complete. Learned counsel for the respondents submits that the charge sheet is li kely to be filed in a couple of days and orders have been obtained from the Spec ial Judge, NIA, Guwahati in Special NIA Case No.1/2010 on 16-11-2010 permitting the custody of the appellant beyond the period of 90 days in accordance with the proviso to Section 43D of the Act. We are of the opinion that since the interrogation of the appellant is c omplete, as submitted by learned counsel for the appellant, there is every likel ihood of the charge sheet being filed within the next 2/3 days, as submitted by learned counsel for the respondents. Under the circumstances, considering the nature of the allegations made against her we are not inclined to grant bail to the appellant. However, we make it clear that if the charge sheet is not filed within the period of 180 days th e appellant would, of course, be entitled to statutory bail, as prescribed by la w. The appeal stands disposed of.
