The Delhi High Court today (22nd Oct) denied bail to Shahrukh Pathan, recorded aiming a firearm at a police officer during the 2020 Northeast Delhi riots. Despite spending four years in jail and the maximum sentence being ten years without reported injuries, Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma emphasized the seriousness of the charges.
Today(on 16th July), Delhi High Court Judge Amit Sharma has recused himself from hearing a batch of petitions related to the Jamia Millia Islamia violence during the anti-CAA protests. The cases have been reassigned to a division bench headed by Justice Prathiba M Singh following Judge Sharma’s decision.
