2020 Delhi riots case: Supreme Court relaxes specific bail condition for about-to-be-married accused

Bench reduces Meeran Haider’s mandatory police station appearances from twice a week to once weekly

2020 Delhi riots case: Supreme Court relaxes specific bail condition for about-to-be-married accused

The Supreme Court of India partially relaxed a bail condition for Meeran Haider, an accused in the 2020 Delhi riots case, on September 25, 2026. Haider's mandatory police station appearances will now be once a week, down from twice a week, ahead of his wedding scheduled for October 17. The court also exempted Haider from appearing before the police station on his wedding day and October 24.

During a brief hearing, Additional Solicitor General S.V. Raju made a light-hearted comment suggesting Haider could get married at the police station, to which senior advocate Siddharth Aggarwal, representing Haider, objected. The court, headed by Justice Aravind Kumar, agreed to the modification but did not entertain Haider's request to relax other restrictions, such as a ban on attending or speaking at public functions or rallies.
