Umar Khalid

During the hearing today, the Delhi High Court said that the speech made by Umar Khalid in Amravati prima facie appears to be objectionable and provocative based on which the case was registered by the police.

The bail application of former Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) student Umar Khalid was rejected by a Delhi court on Thursday in a case registered against him in connection with the riots that took place during February, 2020 in the North-East area of the national capital.

The bail petition of former Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) student Umar Khalid was on Monday adjourned to March 21 in a case related to the incidents that allegedly led to riots in the North-Eastern regions of the national capital in February, 2020, leading to death of 53 people and injuries to more than 700.

A Delhi court had reserved its verdict on the bail plea of Jawaharlal Nehru University scholar Umar Khalid in a Delhi Riots case under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act provisions. Additional Sessions Judge Amitabh Rawat has fixed March 14 for pronouncement of the order.

Senior Advocate Trideep Pais said, "UAPA, POTA, PMLA are distrust of judiciary. These are enacted so that your (judiciary) hands are tied. This is a joke. No accused should be held in this FIR. This is a cooked-up FIR."

The court has now kept the matter for further hearing on May 6. It also noted that both the applicants have already been granted bail.

A Delhi Court on Thursday granted bail to former JNU student Umar Khalid in the case relating to the violence that broke out in the Khajuri Khas area of North East district of national capital and said "chargesheeting him in this case on the basis of such an insignificant material is unwarranted."

A Delhi Court on Monday directed that a copy of the chargesheet in the JNU Sedition case be supplied to ex JNU Students Union President Kanhaiya Kumar and other accused persons.

A Delhi court on Tuesday expressed displeasure at the media coverage in the case relating to the larger conspiracy that led to the violence and riots that broke out in North-East Delhi last year.
