The Delhi High Court on Friday granted three-day interim bail to activist Umar Khalid, who is in custody in a case under anti-terror law UAPA concerning the “larger conspiracy” behind the February 2020 riots in the city’s northeastern parts.
A bench of Justices Prathiba M Singh and Madhu Jain permitted Khalid to be released from June 1 to June 3 to enable him to meet his mother who has to undergo a surgery.
The bench noted that the Supreme Court rejected Khalid’s regular bail plea on January 5 but granted him the reprieve by taking an “empathetic view.”
“Taking an empathetic view, this court is inclined to grant him interim bail for three days from June 1 to June 3 to enable the appellant to spend time with his mother,” the court concluded.
ASG S V Raju, appearing for Delhi Police, argued that Khalid’s mother has to undergo a minor surgey and he should be permitted to visit her with a police escort.
