Sharjeel Imam and Umar Khalid have approached a Delhi court seeking bail in the Delhi Riots conspiracy case.

The matters came up before the Additional Sessions Judge Dr Sumedh Sethi of the Karkardooma Court, who said that the bail pleas filed by both Khalid and Imam will be heard on July 4.

Imam and Khalid filed the bail pleas after a Supreme Court bench questioned the interpretation adopted by the apex court in denying them bail.

Imam's application also highlights that despite the passage of more than 6 months since the Supreme Court’s judgment denying them bail, there has been no meaningful progress in the trial proceedings, with arguments on charge still remaining incomplete.

He has argued that he has been in jail for nearly 6 years in the case.
