The Delhi High Court has fixed hearing on the bail plea of former Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) student and Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) accused Umar Khalid for 19 May. This is in connection with the Delhi riots 'larger conspiracy' case filed under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and registered under FIR 59.
The matter had originally been listed for hearing on Friday, 6 May, but was listed for 19 May by the court after Khalid’s lawyer Trideep Pais said that he will require at least two hours to finish his submissions.
Meanwhile, the Delhi High Court also fixed Khalid’s co-accused Sharjeel Imam’s bail plea in the ‘larger conspiracy’ case for hearing on 24 May.
