In this video, Vajirao & Reddy Institute brings you the full analysis as covered in The Hindu, Indian Express & PIB.
🔴 WHAT HAPPENED IN COURT?
A Division Bench of Justices Prathiba M. Singh and Dinesh Bhatt deferred the hearing after Special Public Prosecutor Madhukar Pandey informed the court that Additional Solicitor General S.V. Raju, appearing for Delhi Police, was unwell due to health reasons. The court said "Matter is adjourned to September 30".
🔴 BACKGROUND OF THE CASE:
Umar Khalid (arrested Sept 13, 2020) and Sharjeel Imam (arrested Aug 25, 2020) are booked under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for alleged larger conspiracy behind 2020 North-East Delhi Riots that left 53 dead & 700+ injured. Violence erupted during protests against CAA & NRC.
They have challenged the Trial Court order dated July 4, 2026 which rejected their bail for the 3rd time. The Trial Court said it was bound by Supreme Court order dated Jan 5, 2026 in Gulfisha Fatima vs State case.
🔴 DELHI POLICE ARGUMENT:
Delhi Police opposed bail calling them "masterminds" and "command authority" with high-risk profiles. Police said Supreme Court allowed them to renew bail only after examination of protected witnesses or after one year from Jan 5, 2026 - whichever is earlier. Police called the current plea "misconceived and illegal" and premature.
🔴 OTHER UPDATES:
- Sharjeel Imam got interim bail from Oct 4-10 for cousin's wedding by Karkardooma Court.
- Tahir Hussain (ex-AAP Councillor) bail plea deferred to November 2026.
