Freed in 2011
One of last year’s victims of sedition charges was released on New Year’s Day in Srinagar, after the High Court granted him an interim bail on Friday. The teacher Noor Mohammed Bhat was arrested last month for setting an exam question paper around last year’s Kashmir’s unrest. Earlier On Dec 18, a lower Court had rejected Bhat’s bail application and upheld his conviction saying the examination paper set by Bhat was “seditious and rebellious in character.”
