The Delhi High Court has said that it shall hear the plea filed by Sharjeel Imam for bail in connection with the northeast Delhi Riots of 2020 ,where he was alleged of sedition on May 4, 2023.
The court was informed about unavailability of one of the parties’ counsel during the hearing.
The division bench comprising of Justice Siddharth Mridul and Justice Vikas Mahajan have thus adjourned the matter for further hearing on May 4.
The bail plea by Inam challenges the order of January 24, by the trial court which denied bail to Imam in the sedition case.
On January 30, the court asked for the stand by Delhi Police on whether the bail plea by Imam could be remanded back to the trial court for adjudication as there was no ground mentioned in the lower court’s order rejecting the relief.
In July 2022, Imam had moved two pleas seeking a stay on trial in a sedition case and a grant of interim bail in the case. His pleas had been dismissed by the trial court in light of an order by the Supreme Court’s order dated 11th May whereby Section 124A of the IPC had been put on hold.
