💨 Abstract

A Mumbai court refused to grant temporary bail to Mustafa Sayed, an accused in the 2006 arms haul case, to attend his mother's post-death rituals. The special MCOCA court stated that national security is paramount and emphasized that one should show equal or greater concern for the "motherland" than familial obligations. Mustafa, in jail for 18 years, turned approver but later turned hostile, complicating his case.
