  "summary": "The 2021 Antilia bomb scare case involving former policeman Sachin Vaze has seen a significant development as a Mumbai court recently granted him bail. The court, presided over by Special Sessions Judge Chakor S. Baviskar, dismissed the prosecution's claim that the Ambani family was terrorised, stating that there was no evidence to support such a claim. The court also noted that the gelatin sticks found in the SUV parked near the Ambani residence lacked detonators, which fell short of the \"means\" required to define a \"terrorist act\" under Section 15 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). The court ruled that Vaze's release on a personal bond of ₹1 lakh with a surety, bypassing the stringent bail restrictions of the UAPA provisions, as the murder of businessman Mansukh Hiran was an independent offence under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).",
