The Supreme Court on Friday adjourned to September 22 the hearing on bail pleas of activists Sharjeel Imam, Umar Khalid, Gulfisha Fatima, and others in the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy case. Justice Aravind Kumar said the matter will be taken up on Monday. Earlier, the Delhi High Court had denied bail, calling their roles “prima facie grave.” The accused have been in custody since 2020 under UAPA. Lawyers argue the trial is delayed and seek parity with others already granted bail. Senior advocates Kapil Sibal, C.U. Singh, and Abhishek Manu Singhvi appeared for the petitioners in the Supreme Court. (PC: The Hindu)
