2020 Delhi Riots accused Sharjeel Imam seeks expedited hearing for 28-month-old bail plea.

Sharjeel Imam, accused in the 2020 Delhi Riots case, has filed a motion for an expedited hearing of his bail plea, which has been pending for 28 months. His last application was dismissed in April 2022. Imam argues that, under the NIA Act, appeals should be resolved within three months, but delays have occurred due to bench changes. The Delhi High Court has scheduled a hearing for October 7, maintaining the original timeline despite his request for urgency.
