US EditionSupreme Court Defers Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam Bail Hearing in Delhi Riots Case to September 22
The Supreme Court postponed bail hearings for activists accused under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act in the 2020 Delhi riots case, with proceedings deferred due to incomplete documents.
- On September 19, the Supreme Court of India adjourned the bail hearing for Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam, Gulfisha Fatima and Meeran Haider to September 22, 2025 after a bench led by Justices Aravind Kumar and Manmohan deferred the petitions.
- Having spent over five years in custody, the activists are challenging a September 2 Delhi High Court order that denied bail to Khalid and others in the 2020 Delhi riots case.
- Prosecutors cited inflammatory speeches on February 24, 2020, and alleged Gulfisha Fatima used code words and funds to direct protesters in the conspiracy case.
- The bench of Justices Aravind Kumar and N.V. Anjaria said files received at 2.30 a.m. caused procedural delays, repeatedly deferring petitioners' hearings due to insufficient review time.
- On September 16, supporters held a meeting at Mumbai Marathi Patrakar Sangh where Umar Khalid's family said five years of incarceration hasn't broken his spirit and urged repeal of 'black laws' like the UAPA.
