Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act
- Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act
The Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, commonly known as TADA, was an Indian law active between 1985 and 1995 (modified in 1987) for the prevention of terrorist activities in Punjab. It was renewed in 1989, 1991 and 1993 before being allowed to lapse in 1995 due to increasing unpopularity due to widespread allegations of abuse.The drawback was that it didn't provide a definition of the term 'terrorist'.The Act does not define the term 'terrorist'. It presumed that the accused was guilty.It had a conviction rate of less than 1% despite the fact that, under criminal law, a confession before a police officer, even though being given under torture, was admissible as evidence in court. A special court known as TADA court was set up to hear the cases and deliver judgements pertaining to 1993 Bombay bombings
