Additional Sessions Judge Sameer Bajpai has granted Sharjeel Imam interim bail for seven days in the 2020 Delhi riots case, The Hindu reports.

Sharjeel Imam has been granted interim bail for seven days in the 2020 Delhi riots case, The Hindu reports. Additional Sessions Judge Sameer Bajpai allowed Imam’s application seeking temporary release so that he could attend his cousin’s wedding. The order, as described in the supplied material, is limited to a one-week period.
The available report does not state the dates on which the interim bail begins or ends. It also does not identify any conditions imposed by the court or say whether Imam is required to surrender at a particular time after the temporary release. No further details of the case proceedings were included in the source material.
The report does not describe the allegations against Imam, the stage of the trial or arguments made by the prosecution and defence in relation to the bail request. The order therefore provides a short period of relief for the stated family occasion while the wider case continues. Information about subsequent hearings or other applications was not supplied.
