Umar Khalid moves Delhi court for interim bail to attend sister's wedding

Former JNU scholar Umar Khalid has approached Delhi's Karkardooma Court seeking interim bail in the Delhi riots conspiracy case to attend his sister's wedding.

Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Sameer Bajpai is scheduled to hear the plea on December 11.

Khalid has sought bail from December 14 to December 29. His sister's wedding is stated to be held on December 27.

Notably, the Supreme Court is hearing Khalid's regular bail plea in the case. The Delhi High Court had denied him bail on September 2, 2025.

He was arrested in September 2020 and charged with criminal conspiracy, rioting, unlawful assembly, as well as several other offences under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).

Khalid was earlier granted bail for seven days in December 2024 to attend his cousin's wedding.
