Allahabad: The Allahabad High Court on Tuesday granted interim bail to Samajwadi Party MLA Azam Khan in a case related to the alleged grabbing of land for his Jauhar University project. The bail order was passed by Justice Rahul Chaturvedi.
The interim bail to Khan was granted on the condition that he has to return the entire enemy property to paramilitary forces and furnish a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh and two sureties of like amount. However, Khan will not be able to walk out of the jail as a Rampur district court last week issued a warrant against him in another case.
Azam Khan's lawyer Khaleel Ullaha Khan said that the high court has granted him bail, but the MLA from Rampur Sadar wouldn't be able to come out of the jail because the police have served him a warrant at Sitapur jail in another case.
Khan has been lodged in Sitapur jail for more than two years. An FIR was lodged at Azem Nagar police station in Rampur against Khan and others in 2019 for alleged grabbing of enemy property and misappropriation of public money of more than hundreds of crores of rupees.
It was alleged in the FIR that during partition one Imamuddin Qureshi went to Pakistan and his land was recorded as enemy property, but Khan in collusion with others grabbed the 13.842- hectare plot.
