The Delhi High Court will on January 7, 2025, hear the bail pleas of activists Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam and others accused in a UAPA case connected to February 2020 riots.
A bench of Justices Navin Chawla and Shalinder Kaur deferred the hearing after the Delhi police counsel said the case would be argued by additional solicitor general S V Raju, who was unavailable on Friday."
How do we adjourn bail matters like this? Last time also these were heard by a bench and released," the bench said.
The court said it would hear the matter on the very first of its re-opening post the winter break.
