Delhi Riots: SC Dismisses Delhi Police Appeal Against Bail To Accused

The Supreme Court today refuses an appeal by the Delhi Police against the Delhi High Court’s order granting bail to student activists Devangana Kalita, Asif Iqbal Tanha, and Natasha Narwal in the Delhi Riots ‘Larger Conspiracy Case.

The 3 activists were released on bail from the Tihar Jail after a time period of 13 months of imprisonment on 17 June 2021.

Subsequently, the Delhi Police challenged the order granting them bail.

Therefore, the matter was listed before a bench of Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul, Abhay S Oka, and JB Pardiwala.

This year in January while hearing the case the bench remarked, “We don’t believe in unnecessarily putting people behind bars. Bail matters should not go on and on and should not be dealt with in this manner.”

In June 2021, the Supreme Court also passed a direction that the Delhi High Court’s judgment wouldn’t apply as authority until the matter finally comes to an end.

Thus, in this case, some of the co-accused have also filed implement applications pertaining to the other cases.
