"Deprivation of liberty for even a single day is one too many. We must always be mindful of the deeper systemic issues of our decisions," Justice DY Chandrachud said.

New Delhi: Anti-terror law should not be "misused for quelling dissent" Supreme Court Judge Justice Dr Dhananjaya Yeshwant Chandrachud said on Monday as he was addressing an event on the legal ties between India and the United States.

"Criminal law, including anti-terror legislation, should not be misused for quelling dissent or harassment to citizens. As I noted in my judgement in Arnab Goswami vs the State, our courts must ensure that they continue to remain the first line of defence against the deprivation of liberty of citizens," Justice Chandrachud said.

"Deprivation of liberty for even a single day is one too many. We must always be mindful of the deeper systemic issues of our decisions," he added.

He was speaking at Indo-US Joint Summer Conference on Indo-US legal ties.

The remarks come amid outrage over the death of 84-year-old activist Stan Swamy, who arrested under the anti-terror law- Unlawful Activities Prevention Act or UAPA - in the Elgar Parishad case last year. He died last week in Mumbai in the middle of his fight for bail on health grounds.
