Asif Iqbal Tanha Petition

The Supreme Court will on Friday hear a Delhi Police plea against the High Court decision to grant bail for activists Natasha Narwal, Devangana Kalita and Asif Iqbal Tanha, who were arrested in May last year over alleged links to the Delhi riots.

The Delhi High Court on Monday came down heavily on police over a vigilance inquiry report filed after a Jamia Millia Islamia student - arrested in May in a case linked to last year's riots in the national capital - said his confessional statement was leaked to media. Asif Iqbal Tanha had petitioned the court and alleged media trial.

The Delhi High Court has allowed a plea by Jamia Millia Islamia student Asif Iqbal Tanha, arrested under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, seeking advancement of his bail petition in connection with a case related to larger conspiracy in the north east Delhi riots last year.
