The Delhi High Court on Tuesday said it will hear together on January 30 two separate plea filed by Sharjeel Imam, seeking interim as well as regular bail in a sedition case.
Sharjeel Imam is in custody for three years. The division bench comprising justices Sidharth Mridul and Talwant Singh on Tuesday said that it would hear the two pleas of Sharjeel Imam together.
The High Court said that both pleas are related to one FIR. “We cannot hear you today for interim bail and again for regular bail. The end result is the same,” said the Court.
However, the court advanced the date of hearing in regular bail from April 10 to January 30.
The High Court was hearing the plea seeking interim bail in the sedition case pursuant to the Supreme Court’s direction to keep abeyance of the cases related to the Sedition case.
