The Supreme Court of India granted interim bail to Tasleem Ahmed and Khalid Saifi in the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy case, while referring broader questions on UAPA bail jurisprudence and interpretation of K.A. Najeeb judgment to a larger Bench.
When conflicting judgments of equal benches arise and a larger bench reference is pending, the judgment delivered earlier will prevail, as per a recent Allahabad High Court ruling. Upholding judicial discipline, the court emphasized the doctrine of stare decisis, ensuring consistency and predictability in legal decisions. The case was referred to a larger bench for decision.
