‘No proof of terror links’: SC gives bail to Vernon Gonsalves, Arun Ferreira in Elgar case

The Supreme Court on Friday granted bail to civil rights activists Vernon Gonsalves and Arun Ferreira, who have been in custody for nearly five years in the Elgar Parishad-Maoist links case. The court said there was no such evidence to prove their intention of being involved in a terrorist act, and that mere possession of certain literature propagating violent acts can’t be termed a terrorist action under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
