The court had rejected the bail plea of Tahir Hussain and two others on January 29.

"Now, despite the order of the Hon'ble Supreme Court regarding co-accused persons, when this Court has once formed the opinion that prima facie a case is made out against the applicant, no other opinion can be formed now by reviewing the earlier order," ASJ Sameer Bajpai had said in the January 29 order.

While dismissing Hussain's plea, the court added, "Accordingly, the Court does not find merits in the application, and the same is hereby dismissed."

Earlier, on March 30, 2024, the court had also dismissed Hussain's bail application, stating that the allegations against the accused are prima facie true.

" In the earlier order, this Court also observed that a prima facie case was there against the applicant and the bar under section 43D(5) OF UAPA was there and therefore, the case of the applicant was not a fit case for bail," the court said in the order.

In this case, Tahir Hussain, Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam, Natasha Narwal, Devangana Kalita, Asif Iqbal Tanha, Ishrat Jahan, Safoora Zargar and others are accused in this case. They are charge-sheeted under the IPC and UAPA. The matter is at the stage of arguements on charges. (ANI)
