The Allahabad High Court last week granted conditional bail to Shravan Yadav alias Vicky, an accused in the death of a person during celebratory firing.
The High Court said it is very strange that neither the petitioner, nor his Counsel, would come to know about the order granting regular bail to the petitioner and rather, the Sessions Judge, Panchkula was approached by way of filing application for regular bail.
The UP police had also named Twitter in the FIR as it failed to take down the tweets and allegedly allowed the video to go viral. The FIR was registered in the backdrop of an elderly Muslim man's claim in a video that his beard was cut off and he was forced to chant Vande Mataram and Jai Shri Ram.
The Court ordered: “Let the applicant, Mohd Kaif, involved in case crime, be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Court concerned with the following conditions which are being imposed in the interest of justice.
The Delhi High Court earlier reserved orders in Jamia Millia Islamia student, Asif Iqbal Tanha's appeal against the rejection of his bail in connection with a case related to larger conspiracy in Delhi Riots that broke out last year.
