Khalid, Imam To Stay In Jail As SC Postpones Bail

The Supreme Court has adjourned the bail hearing of activists Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam, Gulfisha Fatima, and Meeran Haider in the UAPA case to September 22. They challenged the Delhi High Court’s September 2 order denying bail, citing “conspiratorial” violence. The court stressed peaceful protests are protected under Article 19(1)(a) but not absolute.
