in5points

Delhi High Court issued notice on former JNU scholar Umar Khalid's bail plea in the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy case.
The court asked Delhi Police to file a response to Khalid's petition against a trial court's May 4 order denying him bail.
Khalid sought interim bail citing the Supreme Court's May 22 decision referring to a larger bench the application of the Union of India vs KA Najeeb (2021) ruling in UAPA cases involving prolonged incarceration and delayed trials.
The high court listed the matter for August 27, when it will also hear co-accused Sharjeel Imam's petition against the same trial court order.
