The Delhi High Court has issued a notice to the police regarding Umar Khalid's bail plea in a case linked to the North East Delhi riots of 2020. Umar Khalid, a former JNU student leader, has been in custody since September 2020 under charges related to the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA). His bail plea was previously dismissed by a trial court, prompting him to seek relief from the High Court.

Delhi High Court judge Amit Sharma recused himself on Thursday from hearing a batch of bail pleas in a Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) case linked to an alleged larger conspiracy behind the 2020 communal riots in Delhi, including that of student activist Sharjeel Imam.

The Karkardooma court in Delhi has dismissed a plea made by former AAP councillor Tahir Hussain, who sought the production of documents from another case.

The Delhi High Court has granted bail to JNU scholar Sharjeel Imam in a 2020 communal riots case. He was accused of sedition and unlawful activities related to inflammatory speeches made during the Delhi riots. However, despite being granted bail, Imam will remain in jail as he is also implicated in a larger conspiracy case linked to the same riots.

A Delhi court has dismissed the bail plea of Umar Khalid, a former JNU student leader accused in the 2020 northeast Delhi riots' "larger conspiracy" case.

Delhi's Karkardooma court is anticipated to deliver its decision tomorrow on the bail request of Umar Khalid in the larger conspiracy of the 2020 Delhi riots case.

Umar Khalid, the former student leader of JNU, finds himself entangled in a legal battle with his bail plea being heard in court. His counsel vehemently argued that there is no basis for a terror case against him, emphasising that his name being repeated in the charge sheet doesn't validate any wrongdoing.

Delhi Police, in opposition to Umar Khalid's bail plea, presented their case in court on Wednesday, citing WhatsApp chats as evidence that Khalid had a habit of influencing media and social media narratives to sway bail hearings.

In a significant legal development, the Delhi High Court has taken cognizance of Umar Khalid's petition challenging the lower court's decision to drop attempted murder charges against two individuals accused of firing at him.

Khalid, arrested by the Delhi Police in September 2020, had sought bail on grounds that he neither had any criminal role in the violence nor any “conspiratorial connect” with any other accused in the case.
