The Delhi Police has been issued notice by the Supreme Court on Thursday on the bail plea filed by Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) student and activist Umar Khalid in connection with the Delhi Riots conspiracy case.
A bench comprising of Justice AS Bopanna and Justice Hima Kohli have asked the Delhi Police for posting the matter for further consideration after six weeks.
The bench had given liberty to Khalid moving to vacation bench for urgent hearing.
Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal, who is the Counsel for Khalid has said that the matter could be heard after the summer vacation of the Court which is set to commence next week.
The Court ordered for issuing notice and have granted liberty to move vacation bench.
Sibal said after vacation is fine.
The top court was approached by Khalid against an order by Delhi High Court judgment that had denied bail to him.
The arguments in the High Court had gone on for more than 20 days.
Khalid had also been approached by the High Court challenging the dismissal of his bail application by the Karkardooma court in March 2022.
He was arrested by the Delhi Police in September 2020 and charged with criminal conspiracy, rioting, unlawful assembly as well as several sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
He has remained in jail since then.
