The Supreme Court will hear the bail pleas of activists Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam and Gulfisha Fatima on September 12 in the UAPA case linked to the February 2020 Delhi riots. The Delhi High Court earlier denied bail, observing that conspiratorial violence under the guise of protests cannot be permitted, citing law-and-order concerns.

The Supreme Court on September 12 is scheduled to hear bail pleas of activists Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam and Gulfisha Fatima. The apex court will hear the bail pleas after failing to get the reprieve from the High Court in the UAPA case related to the alleged conspiracy behind the February 2020 riots in the national capital.
As reported by news agency PTI, a bench of Justices Aravind Kumar and N V Anjaria is likely to hear the bail pleas of the activists, who have challenged the Delhi High Court order which was passed on September 2.
