Punjab & Haryana High Court Grants Bail in ‘Operation Sindoor’ Espionage Case Over Lack of Evidence

The Punjab & Haryana High Court granted bail to a man accused of spying for Pakistan during “Operation Sindoor.”

The Court noted that the prosecution failed to produce concrete material showing that the accused had actually shared sensitive Army-related information with any person in Pakistan.

It also observed that the case was largely based on disclosure statements, with no independent corroboration. Additionally, sanction under the Official Secrets Act was still pending, preventing the trial from commencing.

Considering the lack of evidence and delay in proceedings, the Court held that continued custody was not justified and granted bail.
