'Delay in trial not trump card': No relief for Umar, Sharjeel in riots case — why SC denied bail
The Supreme Court denied bail to Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam in the 2020 Delhi riots case, citing a prima facie case under UAPA. The court found they played a "formative role" in the conspiracy. However, five other accused were granted bail with strict conditions. Khalid and Imam can seek bail again after one year.
