New Delhi: The Delhi Police has asked the Delhi High Court to reject the fresh bail appeals of Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam in the 2020 Delhi riots case, arguing that the two accused have approached the court before the time fixed by the Supreme Court for renewing their bail pleas.
The State has described the proceedings as "misconceived and illegal" and said the appeals amount to an attempt to bypass the directions issued by the Supreme Court in its January 5, 2026 judgment in Gulfisha Fatima v. State (NCT of Delhi).
