The court asked Delhi Police to file a response to the petition against a trial court’s May 4 order denying Umar Khalid bail
The Bench said it will hear Mr. Khalid's plea on August 27, when the bail plea of co-accused Sharjeel Imam is also listed

Jawaharlal Nehru University has canceled a planned book discussion on campus, which was to highlight former student Umar Khalid's newly released book. Authorities claimed the event's cancellation was due to the organizers' failure to provide complete details. Previously, the Dean of Social Sciences had granted permission to book the auditorium. This cancellation follows a recent event that was also canceled, which featured an ISKCON representative.
The signatories, who wrote to CJI on the eve of India’s 80th Independence day, invoked the Supreme Court’s 2021 judgment in K.A. Najeeb, which held that prolonged incarceration can violate an accused person’s fundamental right to a speedy trial under Article 21 of the Constitution
The Supreme Court observed that the judgment “consciously” kept the condition broad rather than restricting it to the case at hand.
