The Supreme Court is set to deliver its verdict on January 5 regarding the bail pleas of activists Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam, and others accused in the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy case. The accused, booked under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and IPC, are challenging the Delhi High Court's denial of bail. Delhi Police, opposing the pleas, argued the riots were an orchestrated attack on sovereignty, attributing actions of one conspirator to others. The defense highlighted the prolonged detention without conviction and questioned the applicability of UAPA provisions.
