Supreme Court Weighs Fair Trial for Yasin Malik in High-Profile Cases

The court suggests setting up a makeshift courtroom in Tihar Jail to address security concerns and ensure a fair trial for the separatist leader.

The Supreme Court is considering holding Yasin Malik's trial inside Tihar Jail to balance security concerns with his right to a fair trial.
Malik is facing charges related to the 1989 kidnapping of Rubaiya Sayeed and the 1990 killing of four Indian Air Force personnel.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) opposes Malik's physical transfer to Jammu, citing risks to public safety and witness security.
The court highlighted the importance of fair trials, referencing the legal process afforded to 26/11 terrorist Ajmal Kasab as a precedent.
The next hearing is scheduled for November 28, with the court awaiting detailed security and logistical arrangements for witnesses and proceedings.
