Terrorist Activity

Legal definition for Indian law research

Definition

Terrorist activity, a 'terrorist activity' does not merely arise by causing disturbance of law and order or of public order. The fallout of the intended activity is to be one that it travels beyond the capacity of the ordinary law-enforcement agencies to tackle it under the ordinary penal law. It is in essence a deliberate and systematic use of coercive intimidation, Madan Singh v. State of Bihar, (2004) 4 SCC 622 (633).
