Delhi High Court’s Decision on Bail for Umar Khalid and Others in Delhi Riots Case

• The Delhi High Court has denied bail to Umar Khalid and nine others in the Delhi riots case, more than five years after their arrest.

• The ruling raises concerns about due process and the low bar for evidence.

• The court’s decision disregards the evidence and shows little sensitivity to the consequences of denying bail to the accused without trial.

• The prosecution argues that the accused conspired to organize “chakka jams” with the intention of “striking terror” in the national capital.

• Much of the evidence relies on WhatsApp chats and testimony of “protected witnesses,” whose statements cannot be tested through cross-examination.

• The court’s refusal to distinguish between constitutionally protected freedoms and direct incitement to violence is disturbing.

• The court accepts the state’s theory of a shadowy conspiracy as grounds to continue their detention under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

• The court has not held itself accountable for the delay in granting bail, arguing that a hurried trial would be detrimental to the rights of both the Appellants and the State.

Delhi Riots Court Decision is important topic for Civil service exam (WBCS).
