NEW DELHI: The Delhi Police has informed the high court here that out of 83 cases registered by it under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) since 2005, chargesheets were filed in 40 cases within 90 days, while an extension was sought in 20 cases.
The data was submitted on the direction of the Delhi High Court which was hearing a plea by a UAPA accused challenging a trial court order extending the 90-day deadline granted to the Delhi Police in the case against him.
The police said though a total of 98 cases were lodged under the anti-terror law, 15 of them were transferred to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
Justices Mukta Gupta and Anish Dayal had in October asked the police to place on record the number of cases under the UAPA where it filed the charge-sheet within the stipulated 90 days period.
The high court had also asked the police to disclose the details of instances where a charge-sheet was filed after seeking an extension of the 90-day deadline.
