On Thursday, a Delhi Court said it will hear the bail plea of former Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) student leader Umar Khalid, arrested under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in the northeast Delhi riots conspiracy case, on July 27.
Additional Sessions Judge Amitabh Rawat has sought a reply from the prosecution on Umar's bail plea by the next day of the hearing.
Senior Lawyer Trideep Pais is representing the accused in the case.
Khalid along with several others has been booked under the anti-terror law in the case. Notably, they are accused of being the "masterminds" of the February 2020 violence, which had left 53 people dead & over 700 injured.
Besides him, Jamia Millia Islamia student Asif Iqbal Tanha, JNU students Natasha Narwal & Devangana Kalita, Jamia Coordination Committee members Safoora Zargar, former AAP councillor Tahir Hussain & several others have also been booked under the stringent law in the case.
Recently, the High Court of Delhi had granted bail to Tanha, Narwal, & Kalita in the case, saying the State blurred the line between the right to protest & terrorist activity in anxiety to suppress dissent.
