Umar Khalid bail denial: Supreme Court expresses serious reservations on own order

The Supreme Court on Monday expressed serious reservations over its own earlier order denying bail to former JNU student leader Umar Khalid in the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy case, observing that the ruling failed to properly apply the principles laid down by it on prolonged incarceration under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). Khalid, who has been in jail since September 2020, was denied bail in January this year; his review petition was rejected in April. Justice Bhuyan said the court found it “difficult to accept” the approach adopted in Umar Khalid’s case and another UAPA case involving Gurwinder Singh, noting that both judgments interpreted the stringent bail provisions under the law differently from the 2021 ruling of a three-judge bench, Live Law reported.
