Overview

  • A single‑judge bench of Justice Sameer Jain allowed bail in the Quality Bar encroachment case, with the order delivered after being reserved on August 21.
  • Khan sought High Court relief after the Rampur MP‑MLA court rejected his bail on May 17, and his lawyers say jail release formalities are now in process.
  • The case stems from a November 21, 2019 FIR based on a complaint by owner Gagan Arora; Khan was added as an accused in 2024 and chargesheets were filed in January 2025.
  • His wife Tazeen Fatima and son Abdullah had earlier secured bail in this matter, and he recently won bail in the Dungarpur case and an acquittal in an older MP‑MLA case.
  • Separately, Rampur police added IPC sections 467, 468 and 201 in a five‑year‑old enemy‑property records case, and the MP‑MLA court has ordered his production on September 20.
