The Delhi legal circuit saw heightened activity on Saturday as a court stayed the bail of Indian Youth Congress President Uday Bhanu Chib. This rapid development followed a protest at the India AI Impact Summit, resulting in a late-night hearing and a magistrate's initial relief order.

Chib was initially granted bail by Duty Magistrate Vanshika Mehta, who underscored the significance of the right to life and liberty as fundamental constitutional tenets. However, following a challenge by Delhi Police, Additional Sessions Judge Amit Bansal imposed a temporary halt, leaning towards a cautious review of the incident.

The protest that led to Chib's arrest featured demonstrators revealing anti-government slogans during a significant technology summit. As the legal narrative unfolds, the case highlights ongoing tensions between activism and legal scrutiny in the heart of India's capital.
