Supreme Court to continue hearing bail pleas by Umar Khalid and other accused in the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy case.

Delhi police to resume arguments today.

Bench: Justices Aravind Kumar and NV Anjaria

#SupremeCourt #UmarKhalid

-hearing begins-

ASG SV Raju: I had finished my submissions on parity. I was on the aspect of delay. There was delay even after the high court judgement.

Raju points to the counter affidavit filed by the Delhi police.

He says delay in trial proceedings are attributable to the accused. Highlights orders dated 7.8.25, 12.8.25, 3.9.25, 14.10.25 of the trial court saying adjournments were sought by the accused.

Raju: the trial court may be directed to expedite to proceedings. It’s not a ground to grant bail.

Justice Kumar: on what proposition are you relying on the Salim Khan judgement?

Raju: on delay. In para 13 it has been held that even if someone is in jail for 5 and a half years it’s not a ground to grant bail.

Justice Kumar: but in that case there was direct evidence

Raju: I also have evidence. I shall show to the Court. There’s so much of evidence.

Supreme Court resumes hearing plea seeking investigation into alleged financial irregularities and fund diversion by Indiabulls Housing Finance Ltd (IHFL), now renamed Sammaan Capital Ltd.

Bench: Justices Surya Kant, Ujjal Bhuyan, and NK Singh

ASG SV Raju: your lordships had sought for the reports last time, I am ready with the reports.

Adv Prashant Bhushan: on the basis of SEBI affidavit this case is crying for an FIR. India bulls is a NBFC. They sent it to the NHB and MCA. Though MCA filed two affidavits before the high court, they don’t mention this before the high court. All that they say is yes certain violations have been noted and they have been compounded. Sameer Gehlot has fled the country. He has bought 5 star hotels, yachts, aircrafts there. SEBI has pointed out that there appears to be evergreening of loans. Shareholding of public is getting transferred to Sameer Gehlot. It needs a detailed investigation.

Justice Kant: very surprisingly CBI has a very cool kind of attitude in this case. We have never seen such a friendly approach by the CBI. This is ultimately public money. There is strong element of public interest. Even if 10% allegations are correct still there are large scale transactions which can be dubbed as dubious. You register an FIR. It will strengthen the hands of the ED, SFIO etc. whoever has to investigate. Why is the MCA indulging in closing the investigation like this? What is their interest in this?

Supreme Court resumes hearing case regarding appointment of information commissioners.

Bench: Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi

ASG KM Nataraj: the meeting unfortunately could not be held.

Prashant Bhushan: today there are 2/11 information commissioners. There are 9 vacancies. It’s been 2 years since this is happening. RTI is not at all a priority for this government.

Court: the committee might have been busy in elections. It is a possibility.

Bhushan: this is not the last instance. This has been going on repeatedly. So many orders. It is defeating a fundamental right declared by this Court. There are more than 25000 cases pending there. Now people have stopped going there. Hardly any progress in any states. Karnataka has appointed all. Otherwise Jharkhand is defunct. Himachal is defunct.
