A Delhi court on Saturday, July 4, reserved its order on bail applications moved by activists Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam in the larger conspiracy case related to the 2020 Delhi riots.Additional Sessions Judge Sameer Bajpai reserved its order after hearing the arguments from both sides. The judge will likely pass the order in the evening. Khalid and Imam moved bail pleas contending that their continued incarceration without commencement of trial violated their fundamental right to liberty.A bench of Justices Aravind Kumar and N V Anjaria then observed that there was a prima facie case against Khalid and Imam under the UAPA and held that all accused could not be treated equally in view of the “hierarchy of participation.” Khalid, Imam and several others were booked under the anti-terror UAPA and provisions of the IPC for allegedly being part of a larger conspiracy behind the February 2020 riots in northeast Delhi. The violence erupted during protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) and the proposed National Register of Citizens (NRC), leaving 53 people dead and over 700 injured.
