Antilia Bomb Scare: Bombay HC Stays NIA Court Order Granting Bail to Sachin Waze

  • On Wednesday, a Bombay High Court division bench recused itself from hearing the National Investigation Agency's appeal challenging bail granted to dismissed policeman Sachin Vaze in the 2021 Antilia bomb scare case.
  • A special court granted Vaze bail on Tuesday, criticizing the agency for failing to record statements from industrialist Mukesh Ambani's family to prove they were terrorized by the alleged SUV incident.
  • The NIA appealed the bail order, terming it "illegal and bad in law" and arguing the special court failed to establish a prima facie case of terrorism under the Unlawful Activities Act against Vaze.
  • Multiple judges recused themselves on Wednesday; the bench of Justices Bharati Dangre and Ashish Chavan cited prior connections, forcing the NIA to approach Chief Justice Mahesh Chandra Tripathi for reassignment.
  • Vaze remains in prison after the High Court issued an ad-interim stay on the bail order; the dismissed officer, arrested in 2021, has spent nearly five years in custody pending resolution of the Antilia bomb scare case.
