"Pan-India Ramifications": Supreme Court On Delhi Police vs 3 Activists

The court was hearing a petition by Delhi Police to stay bail granted by the Delhi High Court

The decision on bail for student-activists Natasha Narwal, Devangana Kalita and Asif Iqbal Tanha - released last night after spending more than a year in jail over alleged links to riots that erupted amid tension over the citizenship law - could have pan-India ramifications, the Supreme Court said Friday. The court was hearing a petition by Delhi Police to stay bail granted by the Delhi High Court. An earlier petition - to delay the three activists' release on grounds of delayed verification of addresses and sureties - was rejected by the trial court yesterday.
