Delhi Court Grants Umar Khalid Interim Bail for Sister’s Wedding

The decision follows the Supreme Court reserving judgment on his regular bail petition.

Overview

  • Khalid will be out on interim bail from December 16 to 29 on a personal bond of Rs 20,000 with two sureties of the same amount.
  • The court barred him from using social media, ordered him not to contact witnesses, and limited his movements to home and listed wedding venues.
  • He must provide an active phone number to the investigating officer and surrender on December 29 before the prison superintendent, who will report to the court.
  • Prosecutors opposed the request and questioned the need for a 15-day release given ceremonies between December 25 and 27, but the judge granted the full period.
  • Khalid has been in custody since September 2020 under UAPA and related charges and previously received short interim bails for family functions without reported misuse.
