Delhi HC Ne Umar Khalid Aur Sharjeel Imam Ki Bail Phir Ki Reject, January SC Order Ka Hawala.

Delhi High Court ne 30 September 2026 ko Umar Khalid aur Sharjeel Imam ki fresh bail petitions ko phir reject kar diya.

Dono 2020 North-East Delhi riots se jude alleged larger conspiracy case mein UAPA ke tehat jail mein hain.

High Court ki bench, Justice Prathiba M. Singh aur Justice Dinesh Bhatt, ne kaha ki woh Supreme Court ke January 2026 ke order mein di gayi conditions ko badal nahi sakti.

Supreme Court ne 5 January 2026 ko bail deny karte hue Umar Khalid aur Sharjeel Imam ko baad mein bail maangne ki permission di thi—protected witnesses ki gawahi poori hone ke baad ya 5 January 2027 ko, jo pehle ho. Delhi HC ne kaha ki abhi ye condition poori nahi hui hai, isliye woh Supreme Court ke order ko badal nahi sakta.

Defence ne lambi custody aur trial mein deri ke saath Syed Iftikhar Andrabi v. NIA judgment ka hawala diya, lekin Delhi Police ne iska virodh kiya. HC ne Supreme Court ke pehle diye directions ko follow karte hue bail reject kar di.

Batadein Supreme Court ke January order ke mutabik, protected witnesses ki examination agar January 2027 se pehle complete ho jaati hai, to uske baad, warna 5 January 2027 ke baad, fresh bail maangne ka raasta khul sakta hai.
