Supreme Court Grants Bail in Delhi Riots Case, Protects Singer

Supreme Court Grants Bail in Delhi Riots Case, Protects Singer

The Supreme Court of India recently made a big decision about some people involved in the Delhi Riots case.

They gave bail to some people like Gulfisha Fatima and others but did not give bail to Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam.

The court's decision was based on the idea of a 'phased conspiracy' and used a strict law called the UAPA.

This decision has been seen as a change in how the court usually protects people's freedom and right to speak.

In another case, the court also protected a singer named Neha Singh Rathore from being arrested.

She was in trouble for some things she said on social media about a terror attack.

The court said she should help with the investigation but not be arrested yet.

This shows how the court is dealing with cases about speech and protests in India.
