Most probably will consider granting relief: SC on bail plea of two Delhi riots accused

The Supreme Court is likely to grant bail to two 2020 Delhi riots accused, with a verdict expected to be delivered on the same day or May 25.

The Supreme Court on Friday said in all probability it would consider granting bail to two 2020 Delhi riots accused.

It also said that it would look into the argument of police to refer the question of law to a larger bench.

A bench of Justices Aravind Kumar and PB Varale told senior advocate Rebecca John, appearing for Abdul Khalid Saifi and advocate Mehmood Pracha for Tasleem Ahmad that most probably they will be getting the relief and the court will give the order during the day or on May 25.

''Most probably we will consider granting relief. However, we will look into the arguments made on behalf of Delhi police for reference of question of law to the larger bench,'' the bench observed as it reserved its verdict on the bail pleas of Saifi and Ahmed.
