The Delhi High Court stayed the Sessions Court order that had halted the bail of Youth Congress chief Uday Bhanu Chib in the India AI Summit protest case. The Court said there was “no application of mind” in granting the ex-parte stay and restored his bail till further hearing.
A Delhi court granted bail to nine Indian Youth Congress activists arrested during the India AI Impact Summit protest, calling their act “political dissent” and not organised crime. The Court stressed that pre-trial detention without necessity violates Article 21 and that bail remains the rule, not jail.
