Supreme Court Denies Sharjeel Imam's Bail Plea in Delhi Riots Case

The Supreme Court has refused to entertain Sharjeel Imam's bail plea in a Delhi riots case, directing the Delhi High Court to handle it expediently. Despite multiple hearings, the request remains unresolved, and the case is set for a hearing on November 25. Imam faces charges under UAPA.

The Supreme Court on Friday declined to entertain the bail application of Sharjeel Imam related to the Delhi riots case, urging the Delhi High Court to examine it promptly.

A bench led by Justices Bela M Trivedi and S C Sharma dismissed the plea, advising Imam's legal team to seek a speedy resolution at the high court.

The high-profile case, which involves numerous charges under the UAPA, will be heard by the high court on November 25, amid allegations of procedural delays.
