#DelhiRiots - Prosecution expected to make submissions on #SharjeelImam’s alleged involvement in Delhi Riots at 10:30 AM. On the last date, his counsel, Tanvir Ahmed Mir had challenged taking of multiple cognisances by one court on the same offence.

Bench is in session #Delhiriots

Shadab Ahmed, Saleem Khan, Saleem Munna along with Sharjeel Imam listed: Prosecutor #sharjeelimam #Delhiriots

The prosecutor is sharing the screen show the court how arrests were made in FIRs wrt Arrests and Chargesheets. Sharjeel Imam’s Advocate says, “we all know why you are sharing the screen, it is evident what kind of a tirade is being run”, says Mir #DelhiRiots

Mir: My submissions were not in FIR 59 but in FIR 22. Now that you have started sharing this screen and it is shared all over Twitter, it will have a cascading effect! We all know we all know what you are doing!
Prosecutor: This is is no way! I never interjected when you argued!

Sharjeel Imams advocate is objecting to sharing of screen by Prosecutor which shows number of adjournments by counsel for accused. (On the last date, Mir who is imam’s lawyer had said only the prosecutor had sought adjournments) #DelhiRiots

I don’t understand what you are saying!: Prosecutor
Are you hard of hearing? When tanvir ahmed mir is arguing! You don’t have reins of court!: Mir (imams lawyer)
Just because your arguments are not clear doesnt mean i’m hard of hearing!: Prosecutor #DelhiRiots

This is absolutely no way of arguing: Judge

We all know what you’re doing, this is why Rebecca John had to intervene!: Mir for Inam
Prosecutor continues,
#DelhiRiots

6 adjournments have been taken by Advocate Tanvir Ahmed Mir, 2 wasted headings - this is in FIR 59, when someone makes imputations on court, we must set the record straight: Prosecutor #DelhiRiots #SharjeelImam

Sharjeel Imam visited AMU on 11.12.2019 upon directions from Nadeem Khan (sic). On 11.12.2019, there is a chat which sharjeel Imam clearly says “no need to do over secularisation of movement: Prosecutor #DelhiRiots #SharjeelImam

#SharjeelImam specifically said i have 200-300 people & so the entire first phase riots unfurl. Between core members, evident that AMU will be involved. Bihar is specifically mentioned too: Prosecutor
#DelhiRiots

This is the chat between Sharjeel Imam and another person. (Part of chargesheet)
#SharjeelImam #DelhiRiots

Sharjeel Imam's Facebook posts make it evident what he views were: Prosecutor #DelhiRiots

Specific Chats between Sharjeel Imam and his brother Muzammil reveal that "hum dono hi mastermind hain" (of Shaheen Bagh and what is to follow): Prosecutor
(Material is part of chargesheet)
#delhiriots #sharjeelimam

Prosecutor tells Court that #sharjeelImam has specifically said "Ye too trailer hai, picture Abhi baaqi hai" when Shaheen Bagh took place. "I have to give names of witnesses who gave statements under Section 164", he adds.
#delhiriots

Tanvir Ahmed Mir for #Sharjeel Imam: I extend an apology for the morning. The instrumentalities of dispensing justice in the society are in tune. I have 25 years of practice, I just dont make reckless submissions in court.#DelhiRiots

I have never sought an adjournment in the FIR I am referring to: Tanvir Ahmed Mir #Delhiriots #sharjeelimam

Is the delay on account of Tanvir Ahmed Mir? No! Hardly is a bail hearing ever extended beyond 7 days!: Mir for #SharjeelImam #DelhiRiots

Mir is telling Court on bail jurisprudence. "Where is the question of Tanvir Ahmed Mir coming and casting aspersions on Court? Why did Tanvir Ahmed Mir come to court and say this? If I caused delay, Court is to catch my neck": #SharjeelImam's lawyer #delhiriots

Prosecution interjects :- Three statements - Romeo, Bond and Tahira Dawood's statements are relevant wrt #sharjeelimam
#delhiriots

Why is the cognisance taken for the same speech wrt #sharjeelimam. Even at stage of bail I am well within my rights to contend this: Mir
#DelhiRiots

"Aap paashaas baar gehete Hain media ko ki bahar niklo, the Court is here to protect rights. That is the silver lining.": Mir for #sharjeelimam
#delhiriots

Mir says the prosecution is saying conspiracy is an open one and there is no starting point to it. This is a conspiracy in chain. That is subject to a caveat. There is no concept of conspiracy in perpetuity: Mir for #sharjeelimam #delhiriots

My lord has found my speeches Seditious. My lord has not found that my speeches perpetuated violence. Prosecution tried to weave a web that there was an agreement to spread violence. Within this, he has to also show for who's murder he conspired: Mir #SharjeelImam #DelhiRiots

Every time in this country, some person in our country dies due to his Ethnicity, spirituality and religion leaves blot on our conscience: Mir for #sharjeelimam #delhiriots

A man died (vol. in #delhiriots) because his name ended with "Ahmed", he was pulled out of his rented accommodation. People dying in this country for their religion: Mir for #sharjeelimam #delhiriots

Tanvir Ahmed Mir says "Kalyan's" bail who is accused of 30+ murders more debated, as against Sharjeel Imam's - the proposition is that he left his corporate job and joined IIT to study modern history, as if this is a crime! #sharjeelimam #delhiriots

Where are the words "Dangey karwaiye"? The words Sharjeel Imam is using is "Ehitahaad kijiye", "Chakka Jaam" kijiye. Recently a chakka jam by political dispensation because beautiful wine shops were being given to delhi. We have seen this since times immemorial: Mir #delhiriots

This is a conspiracy of speculation (vol. by prosecution): Mir for Imam #delhiriots

Mir is showing Court a US court judgment on conspiracy. #delhiriots #sharjeelimam

Arrest is prior, riot is later. I emphasise, arrest is prior, Riot is later: Mir for #sharjeelimam #delhiriots

The prosecution showing part of chats and not entire chats is in violation of a Supreme Court judgment of justice Sikri. He seeks to establish that the riots which took place are to be admitted as evidence despite his arrest more than a month ago: Mir #sharjeelimam #delhiriots

These are all hearsay evidence which are shown by Prosecution: Mir #sharjeelimam #delhiriots

We are soldiers of Justice, at least I perceive myself as that: Tanvir Ahmed Mir for #sharjeelimam
#delhiriots

Mir is showing the Court another Supreme Court of USA judgment delivered by Justice Jackson. He says my ld. friend has used the word "organically", I want to live organically. I want to grow in the 4 corners of the law: Mir for #sharjeelimam #DelhiRiots

Kaun Sadak par chada, aur kisnę kaha "agar sadak khaali nahi kari, toh humei khaali karna aataa hai" - this is not conspiracy but what Sharjeel Imam said is conspiracy! Look at the hazard this is creating: Mir for Imam #DelhiRiots

Such a big charge being put on shoulders of Sharjeel Imam! He made a speech long before riots started. The farmers came from all over India, they closed the meerut highway: Mir for Imam #delhiriots

"Imam went to Shaheen Bagh. Jo Muzzafarnagar se Kissan ayaa, use bhi conspirator Bana late hain? Dangaa toh Republic Day par phi hua.": Mir for #sharjeelimam #delhiriots

The right of a person to go to a protest must not be scuttled - that I will railroad your existence: Mir for #sharjeelimam #delhiriots

I (Sharjeel Imam) gave speeches as per my intellect: Mir on #sharjeelimam #delhiriots

Whatever happened in the morning was because my client's bail has been extended way beyond desired time: Mir
We missed that, happens usually in physical court!: Judge
#delhiriots #sharjeelimam

Arrest of Sharjeel Imam not for conspiracy. It is for seditious speech. To say he was arrested for conspiracy, is a misdirected argument. Conspiracy in itself can be investigated independently even if Sharjeel was arrested pursuant to seditious speeches: Prosecutor #delhiriots

Bench got disconnected due to connection issues. Prosecutor will argue shortly again. All are logging back again. #DelhiRiots

Prosecutor reads from Chargesheet. His case is that the conspirators had sought to uproot a lawfully elected government and effectuate communal violence. The idea was to uproot the Govt and complete anarchy: Prosecutor #delhiriots #sharjeelimam

I have already shown what instructions were given by Umar Khalid to Sharjeel Imam to Gulfisha. Conspiracy is evident in the instructions given at the meeting: Prosecutor #delhiriots #sharjeelimam

It is evident from Owais's chats show earlier where he continually shows that there is violence (vol. "violence nahi Karne dengay" etc.): Prosecutor #delhiriots #sharjeelimam

Advocate Bilal Anwar Khan for "Saleem Munna" asks if he should begin his arguments.

"Saleem Khan" is the man instrumental in damaging cameras in Chand bagh. He also attended the meeting on 16-17 (attended by alleged co conspirators). His connectivity is with Suleiman Siddiqui : Prosecutor #delhiriots

Saleem Khan has been named in statements before magistrate of Silver, Gold, Head Constable Sunil, Gyan, Venus, Pluto. Was part of Whatsapp Group 'Khidmat', "Save constitution" where all WhatsApp chats have been deleted but shows involvement at local level: Prosecutor #delhiriots

The way we have the JCC at levels across. The Chat groups Khidmat and Save Constitution were created for mobilisation at Chand Bagh: Prosecutor #delhiriots

Advocate for one of the accused says "I want to give rebuttal, itnaa dinn wait kia hai, 2-4 din aur karlenge".
#delhiriots

Court will hear arguments on Shadab and Saleem Malik on another day, Court says it is now left with Gulfisha, Shifa Ur Rehman and Tasleem #delhiriots

Tanvir Ahmed Mir wants to make rebuttal submission, his colleague tells court. The Court will return at 2 pm. #DelhiRiots

Bench has not returned in session #DelhiRiots

Bench back in session, The prosecutor is arguing why Shifa Ur Rehman shouldn't be given bail. #DelhiRiots

Sharjeel imam posted a msg regarding meeting at basement of Jangpura extension and also invited "MSJ" members to join. Core members of MSG were invited for this: Prosecutor #delhiriots

On the morning of 15/12/2019, sharjeel imam held meeting with MSJ core committee at a dhaba in JNU & they decided their further plans. They roped in PFI, Jamaat e Islami hind and other organisations: Prosecutor #delhiriots

Minutes of meeting of this committee meeting have been recovered from Sharjeel imam's phone. (the chargesheet contains the minutes of the meeting in writing which contains agenda including marshal Jaloos etc. ) #DelhiRiots

Tanvir Ahmed Mir is back in court. He goes on to make rebuttal submissions for #sharjeelimam

Mir reading from supplementary chargesheet, he says that there is mention of violence by police. Barring one of the members, Jyotsana, no one had objected to the plan of Chakka Jam.
#DelhiRiots

They have found speeches, a transcript of which is shared in chargesheet... I will not go into that transcript: Mir #DelhiRiots

Sharjeel Imam's tail cannot be tied to chats, social media posts, actions of other. According to prosecution, Umar Khalid goes to Amravati and gave a "provocative speech" & riot takes place somewhere else : Prosecutor #DelhiRiots

They chargesheeted Sharjeel Imam for a "seditious speech" and say it tantamounts to terrorism which then ropes in UAPA. To say there is smaller conspiracy or larger conspiracy does not sustain. Criminal conspiracy is criminal conspiracy: Mir for Imam
#delhiriots

Sharjeel is Lone Wolf. No one has acted in tandem with him. He think much more of himself than he actually is. That is a demon. All of them have disowned my style of politics. I am no part of some "DPSG" group: Mir for #SharjeelImam #delhiriots

Sharjeel Imam is a thinker, is a philoposher, he quits a corporate job. "Sharjeel apni hi dhun Mei hai".
He believes that the government will telling him "what is the guarantee you are not a Bangladeshi": Mir argues for #sharjeelimam #delhiriots

Lets not deny Farmers agitated and blocked roads and the Hon'ble PM came that he is withdrawing the laws. When people start protests, people have aims and objectives: Mir draws analogies between anti-cat protests and the farm law protests #delhiriots

BREAKING: Delhi Court reserves order in bail plea of #sharjeelimam.
#delhiriots

Sharjeel Imam a "Lone Wolf", a philosopher, thinker who gave up corporate job: Imam's counsel tells Delhi Court
