A Delhi Court on Monday granted bail to Congress councillor Ishrat Jahan in relation to a Delhi Riots case..Bail was granted by Additional Sessions Judge Amitabh Rawat of the Karkardooma Court..Jahan was arrested in March 2020 in connection with a Delhi Riots case for the alleged commission of offences under provisions of the Indian Penal Code, Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act, Arms Act and the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA). She had subsequently filed a bail application before the Special Court.The prosecution had contested the maintainability of the same, contending that such a plea filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) could not be entertained by a special court..During an earlier hearing, Special Public Prosecutor Amit Prasad had argued that Jahan was in touch with other accused with whom she had no connection and the same was only to further the object of conspiracy to commit riots..In July last year, the Delhi High Court dismissed the former Congress Councillor's petition against the extension of time period to conclude the investigation in the case against her.
