Contrast....

UAPA for IM, MCOCA for Abhinav Bharat...


The UAPA is watered-down version of MCOCA, as it allows detention without bail only up to 3 months, unlike MCOCA, where an accused cannot apply for bail before 6 months.

While the case against Simi-IM module behind the Delhi blasts does not stand on confessions alone and is backed by circumstantial evidence, the case against Lt Col Srikant Prasad Purohit and Sadhvi Pragya Singh is built on confessions made by the accused to the police.
