Justice Amit Sharma today of the Delhi High Court has recused himself from hearing Umar Khalid’s bail plea in the Delhi riots conspiracy case. The case will be heard again on July 24, along with bail appeals from other co-accused. Umar Khalid, a former JNU scholar, faces multiple charges including criminal conspiracy and unlawful assembly under the UAPA. His continued incarceration has sparked debate and drawn attention from supporters and human rights advocates.
The Supreme Court recently reiterated its stance against routinely entertaining bail appeals, emphasizing the importance of finality at the High Court level. In a recent case, Justices Roy and Bhatti emphasized the limited role of the apex court in such matters, stressing the pivotal role of High Courts in bail decisions.
