saibaba

Gokarakonda Naga "G. N." Saibaba (born 1967) is an Indian scholar, writer, human rights activist, and former assistant professor.
Earlier, he was accused by the government of links with banned left wing extremist organizations and was convicted to life imprisonment by a session court in 2017. He was acquitted of the charges under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act by Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court on 14 October 2022. The Supreme Court of India suspended the order of acquittal and asked the Bombay High Court to reevaluate the case afresh. On 5 March 2024, Saibaba (and 5 others arrested and tried with him) was once again acquitted by the Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court. The High Court bench tore into the state's case for its lack of technical propriety and dodgy evidence, and called the trial court's verdict a "failure of justice". Bombay High Court's second acquittal has also been challenged by the state in the Supreme Court for the second time, by way of filing a special leave petition on the same day and prior to the delivery of the HC judgement.
