NEW DELHI: Delhi High Court on Friday sought the stand of police on JNU student Sharjeel Imam’s plea seeking interim bail in a 2020 riots case involving allegations of sedition.
A bench of Justices Mukta Gupta and Anish Dayal issued notice on his plea seeking bail and a stay on proceedings in the case. Imam, who is facing sedition charges for his alleged inflammatory speeches, had urged the trial court to release him for the time being on account of the Supreme Court keeping in abeyance IPC Section 124A (sedition) until the issue of its constitutionality is examined.
