Umar Khalid has been granted three days of interim bail by the Delhi High Court to be with his mother for her surgery. He will be released from June 1 to June 3, with strict conditions including staying within Delhi-NCR and only visiting the hospital. The court's decision came after a trial court rejected his temporary relief plea.

The Supreme Court on Friday chose not to comment on observations questioning its earlier bail denial to activists Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam. While hearing bail pleas for other riot accused, the bench indicated it might grant interim bail, but will consider Delhi Police's plea for a larger bench review on UAPA bail norms.

In a landmark ruling, the Supreme Court underscored the primacy of bail, regardless of UAPA constraints, asserting that personal freedom must not be persistently restricted. By referencing the KA Najeeb case, the justices highlighted that extended detention without trial contravenes constitutional principles, challenging previous judgments that had sidestepped this fundamental right.

Umar Khalid has approached the Delhi High Court for 15 days' interim bail, from May 22 to June 5, to attend his uncle's Chehlum ceremony and care for his mother undergoing surgery. A trial court had previously denied his request, deeming it not necessary. Khalid argues the trial court's assessment was incorrect.

The latest judgment faulted two earlier rulings, holding them inconsistent with the landmark February 1, 2021 verdict by a three-judge bench of Justices N V Ramana, Surya Kant and Aniruddha Bose, which ruled that UAPA’s stringent bail conditions cannot be “used as the sole metric for denial of bail”

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi alleged the Nashik TCS exploitation case is an intentional attempt to target educated Muslim youths, claiming it lacks legal standing and faces a media trial. He stated the corporator involved will contest the matter legally, asserting the party's unawareness of the incident and that recovered items are not illegal.

The Supreme Court has dismissed student activist Umar Khalid's review plea seeking bail in the 2020 delhi riots case. The court previously denied him bail, stating that prolonged detention alone isn't a reason for release. Khalid faces charges under the stringent UAPA. This decision upholds the earlier ruling, impacting his ongoing legal battle.

Sharjeel Imam, an accused in the "larger conspiracy" case related to the delhi riots of 2020, reached his ancestral village Kako after six years to attend his younger brother Muzzammil Imam's wedding and spend time with his ailing mother. The Imam arrived here following a 10-day interim bail by a Delhi Court.

A Delhi court acquitted nine men in a 2020 riot case, citing unreliable witness testimonies and a flawed prosecution. The judge highlighted inconsistencies in dates and locations, stating it was unsafe to rely on the evidence presented. The court found the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt.

Sharjeel Imam has been granted interim bail for 10 days to attend his brother's wedding and visit his ailing mother. The court imposed strict conditions, including no media interaction and limited contact with case-related individuals. Imam must surrender on March 30th after nearly six years in jail.

Amidst escalating Middle East tensions, PM Modi reviewed energy preparedness, focusing on uninterrupted supply of fuel and fertilizers. Iran's missile strikes and threats to oil facilities have heightened concerns. Meanwhile, foreign investors withdrew significantly from Indian equities in March due to global uncertainties and a weakening rupee.

Muslim organizations in Rajasthan have urged the Congress to nominate anti-CAA/NRC activist Umar Khalid for an upcoming Rajya Sabha seat. They argue his candidature would signal commitment to civil rights and address the lack of Muslim representation from the state in Parliament, despite significant community support for the party.

A Delhi court has granted Sharjeel Imam 10-day interim bail in a 2020 delhi riots case, months after the Supreme Court denied him regular bail. The Supreme Court had previously stated that long incarceration alone isn't enough for bail under UAPA, especially in cases affecting public order and national security.
