The Supreme Court has postponed the hearing on former JNU student Umar Khalid's bail petition until January 10. This is in relation to a case filed under the anti-terror law UAPA regarding his alleged involvement in the conspiracy linked to the February 2020 riots in northeast Delhi, stated a report in PTI. 

According to the report, the hearing was adjourned by a bench of Justices Bela M Trivedi and Satish Chandra Sharma due to the absence of senior advocates Kapil Sibal, who represents Khalid, and Additional Solicitor General SV Raju. The bench had earlier scheduled the hearing for December 6, however, it was made aware of Sibal's unavailability on the day and thus the court agreed to list the case on January 10, urging that necessary pleadings be completed in the interim.
