'Why Not Let Him Go?': Supreme Court to UP Govt Over SP Leader Azam Khan's Plea

"Why not let him (Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan) go?" the Supreme Court hit out at the Uttar Pradesh government on Wednesday, 11 May, and directed it to file a reply to Khan's plea over the delay in his hearing.

The case is scheduled to be heard next Tuesday.

"What is this? Why not let him go? He has been jail for two years. One or two cases is okay but it cannot be in 89 cases. Whenever he gets bail, he is again sent to jail in some other matter. You file a reply. We will hear on Tuesday," said a bench comprising justices L Nageswara Rao, BR Gavai, and AS Bopanna, reported news agency PTI.
