Along with Sharjeel Imam’s, Khalid’s bail plea is to be heard in HC on 25 November by justices Navin Chawla and Shalinder Kaur. His petition has been rejected in court earlier.
Screened on Khalid’s 37th birthday, the documentary film, ‘Prisoner No. 626710 is Present’, opened with a chilling scene of the activist anticipating his arrest under false charges.
Khalid, who is facing charges under UAPA in the 2020 Delhi riots larger conspiracy case, had filed his second bail plea. His first application was rejected in 2022.
Khalid is an accused in the alleged larger conspiracy behind the 2020 northeast Delhi communal riots. He has been booked under the stringent Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).
Lawyers who represented accused say arrests were made hastily and focus was on 'proving a narrative'. Senior cop says probe in all riots cases meticulous, scientific methods used.
In February 2018, SC made the assignment of cases and the roster for judges public. However, controversy has broken out over the listing of cases several times over the past month.

Indian judiciary has a corrosive imbalance between the bar and the bench. Those who supervise the district judiciary do so without the lived experience that is essential for meaningful reform.

Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
The bigger issue in India is the amount of time it takes for a case to reach conclusion. Jagdish Tytler is still being prosecuted etc for the 1984 riots. He will probably pass away before the case concludes. Supreme Court of India has been self righteous in its observations but has done absolutely nothing to reduce time to finish cases. All manners of excuses are presented. But nothing gets done. All folks who are guilty., even terrorists can claim innocence after a while because the case is in progress. Consider folks like Yasin Malik. They can kidnap murder and them claim a change of heart in the 20 + years of prosecution. I think the Supreme Court and Justice System in India has been praised and feared too long due to fear of reprisal by everyone. There is no accountability from these folks.
No journalist dare ask any judge in any interview, what they owe the people of India and have they delivered? If so what are the repercussions? Anyone who is causing delays in a the normal execution of a prosecution should be severely fined. If it is the Lawyers, they need to be suspended and debarred. If it is judges we need to know how many cases can a judge handle in a day and are they doing less or more? Why is this all hidden from the people?
The Left-liberal media outlets have for long been batting on behalf of the likes of Sharjeel Imam and Umar Khalid. These two have certainly become the darling of the Left-liberal cabal.
I clearly remember that when the JNU circus started, Kanhaiya Kumar and Shehla Rashid were the favourites of this cabal. Back then, they just could not get enough of those two. But now, it seems, they no longer enjoy the blessings of this cabal.
Umar Khalid along with Sharjeel Imam are the new favourites. Of late, even reputed journalists like Mr. Shekhar Gupta and Mr. Rajdeep Sardesai are championing their cause.
