Bail was granted on Monday, but the three were not released.

#natashanarwal #asifiqbaltanha

Bench of Justices Siddharth Mridul and Anup Bhambhani assembles.

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

Judges haven't received filed yet. There appears to be action in the Special Judge's court and SC why are you troubling us? Court

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

Advocate Siddarth Aggarwal informing Court about how Delhi Police said it needed six days time to verify accused's sureties etc.

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

Even if the court has to grant time for verification, it can be done after they are released: Aggarwal

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

If trial court passes an order, this application is infructuous. At the most, we can say that the proceedings should be conducted expeditiously: Court

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

By not deciding my application, trial court has taken a view: Aggarwal

Has trial court taken up these matters? Court asks

Trial court is taking up regular matters: Advocate Adit Pujari for accused.

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

Are these issues we can interfere with, before the trial court takes a view on your application? Court asks. It has to be done in a reasonable time, and we have already said that.

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

By not taking up the case, the trial court has denied me of my rights. After securing bail, it says it does not have time to do it? Your Lordships' judgment is not being implemented: Aggarwal

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

I don't wish to impute motives, but the trial court has allowed the application by not taking it up: Aggarwal

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

Our direction is to effect release forthwith: Court

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

Special Public Prosecutor Amit Prasad wants to demonstrate facts to explain what is happening. While imputations are being made against State, we are following Court's orders

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

I have furnished a fresh address, the tenancy of my past address expired when I was in custody for over 300 days: Aggarwal

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

Trial court cannot be lax about this, once we pass an order: Court

During verification, certain facts came up that we will bring before the trial court: SPP Prasad

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

We have strong reasons to believe that the addresses have glaring discrepancies: Prasad

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

Even if today the trial court passes an order at 4, it will take time to reach, and the same delay will occur. We are asking that it be sent by email: Pujari

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

We are going to direct counsel for the parties to appear before the trial court at 12 noon. You can make your submissions, and the court will take a decision: Court

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

You have sought time to verify Aadhaar numbers? Justice Bhambhani. Where does Aadhaar number come into the picture? Do you follow this process in other cases?

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

In case of sureties, there is a Supreme Court order that says so: Prasad

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

Order was reserved in both our applications. Every time, there is shifting of goalposts. They came to our house for verification twice, but they didn't do their job: Pujari

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

Let the trial court pass an order. These are issues that are germane to the trial court: Court

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

After trial court hears the matter, we can hear the matter and get an update on what happened: Justice Bhambhani suggests, Justice Mridul agrees

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

Sureties are local, accused have been in your custody for over a year, investigation is complete. What more do you want? Court asks SPP Prasad

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

Discrepancies with respect to permanent address of Asif Iqbal Sinha being pointed out by SPP Prasad. These are factors that trial court must look at and decide: Prasad

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

Police have already filed a chargesheet that my address is verified: Aggarwal

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

The trial court shall hear the matter with promptitude and we will take it up thereafter: Court

If we have created any problems for you, we can solve those for you: Court to Prasad

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

We will hear the matter at 2:30 pm.

Trial court will take time to pass order. Let us have it at 3:30: Prasad

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

We are not going to monitor the proceedings before the trial court. We can only say that it has to deal with the matter with promptitude. Our order has to be implemented, there cannot be two views on that: Court

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

ORDER: Trial court to hear matter at 12 noon. High Court to hear application at 3:30 pm

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

Trial court to be informed of this order via email. Bench to reconvene at 3:30 pm.

#DelhiRiots #DelhiHighCourt #UAPA

[Delhi Riots] Release of Asif Iqbal Tanha, Devangana Kalita, Natasha Narwal: Delhi High Court directs that Trial Court hears matter at 12 pm
