Last week, the bench had observed that being a special bench, it did not assemble on a regular basis and therefore, it needed to "take a call" on whether these bail pleas could be heard by it or if they had to be sent to the designated bench

The Delhi High Court on Monday began hearing the bail plea by 'United Against Hate' founder Khalid Saifi in a UAPA case related to the alleged conspiracy behind the 2020 riots and said it would hold daily hearing from November 25 on the batch of related pleas seeking the release of several accused.
Besides Khalid, the appeals by accused Shifa Ur Rehman, Saleem Khan, Meeran Haider, Gulfisha Fatima and Salim Malik against the dismissal of their bail applications by the trial court are pending before the high court. Delhi Police's challenge to the trial court order granting bail to former Congress councillor Ishrat Jahan in the case is also among the petitions.
