The Delhi High Court on Wednesday rejected the third bail pleas of student activists Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam in the case concerning the alleged larger conspiracy behind the February 2020 north-east Delhi riots registered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
A bench of Justices Prathiba M Singh and Dinesh Bhatt said it could not modify the Supreme Court’s January 5 order directing the two accused to seek bail either after the examination of protected witnesses is completed or after one year from the date of the order, whichever is earlier.
