Former JNU student leader Umar Khalid has approached the Delhi High Court seeking 15-day interim bail after a trial court rejected his plea as “unreasonable.” Khalid, an accused in the larger conspiracy case linked to the 2020 Delhi riots under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), requested temporary relief citing personal grounds. The lower court had denied the application, observing insufficient justification for interim bail. His petition before the High Court is expected to be heard soon. Khalid has remained in judicial custody since 2020, while legal proceedings in the high-profile riots conspiracy case continue in Delhi.
