Delhi Riots: High Court's New Division Bench Headed By Justice Navin Chawla To Hear Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam Bails Tomorrow

The Delhi High Court has scheduled the bail appeals of Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam for hearing. Both were key figures implicated in the 2020 Delhi riots, facing charges under various sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). Khalid and Imam argue that their continued detention violates constitutional rights, as the charges lack evidence linking them to the violence. The hearing will be closely watched given its political and legal significance. The case highlights the challenges in balancing national security concerns with individual liberties.
