The Supreme Court on Monday lifted a bail condition for Kerala journalist Siddique Kappan, removing the necessity for him to appear at a police station in Uttar Pradesh once a week in connection with a UAPA (Unlawful Activities Prevention Act) case, reported PTI.

According to the report, the ruling was made by a bench of Justices PS Narasimhan and Sandeep Mehta, and it altered the condition set at Kappan's bail hearing in September 2022. "The order dated September 9, 2022, is modified, and it shall not be necessary for the petitioner to report to the local police station," noted the bench, noting that Kappan's other demands might be followed independently.
