The Delhi High Court on Friday sought the response of Delhi Police on a bail plea filed by student activist Sharjeel Imam in the alleged "larger conspiracy" case linked to the February 2020 northeast Delhi riots, in which he is charged under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
A division bench of Justices Prathiba M. Singh and Vikas Mahajan issued notice on Imam's appeal challenging a July 4 trial court order that dismissed his second application for regular bail. The bench granted Delhi Police two weeks to file its reply and posted the matter for hearing on August 27.
