SC allows Delhi riots accused to mark attendance to cops only on Saturday
The Supreme Court on Friday refused to alter the bail condition imposed on the 2020 Delhi riots accused Meeran Haider, restraining him from participating in any programme, addressing gatherings, or circulating posters or banners in any form
The Supreme Court has ruled that the accused in the 2020 Delhi riots case, Meeran Haider, can only attend a police station on Saturdays for their attendance, as opposed to twice a week. Haider's lawyer, Siddharth Agarwal, had requested the court to relax three other conditions in addition to this one. However, the bench rejected this suggestion, stating that the conditions must be broader and not confined to the present case.
Haider was granted permission to appear before the Crime Branch police station on Saturdays between 10 am and 12 noon, exempting him from appearing on two Saturdays - October 17 and 24, due to his marriage in that week. The trial in the case, involving UAPA charges, is ongoing.
