Overview

• Justices Aravind Kumar and Manmohan listed the bail petitions for Monday, September 22.
• Today’s adjournment came after Justice Manmohan recused, a week after an earlier delay when the bench said case files reached them at 2:30 a.m.
• The appeals challenge the Delhi High Court’s September 2 verdict that denied bail to nine accused, terming the alleged plot a premeditated, well‑orchestrated conspiracy.
• The accused include Khalid, Imam, Gulfisha Fatima, Meeran Haider and Shifa‑ur‑Rehman, who face UAPA charges in the larger‑conspiracy case tied to the February 2020 violence.
• Defense counsel argue prolonged pre‑trial detention since 2020 and seek parity with co‑accused who earlier secured bail, while prosecutors maintain the conspiracy narrative.
