Delhi Court Re-Grants Bail to Stone-Pelting Accused
A man named Ubedullah was accused of throwing stones at police officers during a demolition near a mosque.
A lower court gave him bail, but the High Court said the decision was not well-explained and sent the case back.
The lower court then decided again and gave him bail once more, this time with a clear explanation.
The case is about violence that happened during a cleanup operation near the mosque.
The High Court will decide on the bail again on January 23.
The Delhi High Court initially set aside the bail granted to Ubedullah, a 25-year-old street vendor, for alleged involvement in stone-pelting during a demolition exercise near Faiz-e-Elahi mosque.
The High Court criticized the trial court's bail order as 'cryptic and unreasoned', lacking adequate reasons and analysis, and remanded the case for reconsideration.
The trial court, after reconsideration, re-granted bail to Ubedullah, this time providing clear reasons for the decision.
The prosecution relied on CCTV footage and a co-accused's disclosure to oppose the bail, alleging Ubedullah was part of a violent crowd that injured six police officers.
The incident occurred during an anti-encroachment drive on the night of January 6-7, with around 150-200 people allegedly hurling stones and injuring six police officers.
