Delhi court discharge order of #UmarKhalid and #KhalidSaifi in #Delhiriots case: As far as accused Saifi and Khalid are concerned, I find that allegations made against them relate to Umbrella Conspiracy, rather the conspiracy peculiar to incident investigated in this case.
Order: I have already discussed scope of 2 different conspiracies. Since, Umbrella Conspiracy—larger conspiracy to incite riots in Delhi—is already subject matter of consideration in FIR 59/2020 (UAPA).., these 2 accused are entitled for discharge. #UmarKhalid #KhalidSaifi
Order: There is concept of an Umbrella Conspiracy being the larger conspiracy and several smaller conspiracies hatched under the larger conspiracy. The objective of Umbrella Conspiracy may be wider than the objective of smaller conspiracy. #UmarKhalid #KhalidSaifi
Order: Planning to ignite a communal riot at a large level and taking steps for prosecution of such plan, could be Umbrella Conspiracy and participants to this conspiracy may or may not be part of each smaller conspiracies and vice versa. #UmarKhalid #KhalidSaifi
Order on charges against rest of the accused including Tahir Hussain: All accused indulged into targeting Hindus and their such acts were apparently prejudicial to the harmony between communities of Muslims and
Hindus. They did disturb public tranquillity through their actions.
Delhi Riots: Umar Khalid, Khalid Saifi facing larger conspiracy case; deserve discharge in rioting case, Delhi Court says

SG Tushar Mehta: There are no facts to be controverted but I have filed an IA stating that this matter may have to be referred to be a larger bench

CJI DY Chandrachud: This can be argued when the matter is taken up
Sr Adv AM Singhvi: This IA has been filed after this court had ruled that this matter is not case for reference

CJI: Justice Krishna Murari is not well and thus a date has to be fixed

Singhvi: The IA is in the garb of a review. This cannot be allowed
CJI: What action has to be taken on IA can be decided when the constitution bench hears it. When it assembles it will see it

Singhvi: This will only create delay and such tactics cannot be allowed

CJI: even without IA it can be argued.
