In the nine months since activist Umar Khalid filed a special leave petition in the Supreme Court, his bail plea has been adjourned 11 times. Today was the latest episode in the series of adjournments.
Of these 11 adjournments, at least four were requested by Khalid’s counsel, including one joint request with the Delhi police. The top court postponed the hearings five times. Additionally, one hearing was deferred because of a logistical issue and another adjournment was sought by the Delhi police.
