Our legal struggle will continue for justice to all innocent people: Maulana Arshad Madani
New Delhi: Thorough the efforts of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, bail petitions of Muslims accused in Delhi riots, continue to be approved. Today, 24 more people have been granted bail through the efforts of the lawyers of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind. It is noteworthy that the lower court and Delhi High Court have granted bail to a total of 30 accused so far, and the process of release of Muslim youth from jail has also begun. One accused has been released from jail yesterday.
Justice Shrish Ket of Delhi High Court has granted conditional bail to accused Rehan Pardhan, Arshad Qayyum, Irshad Ahmed, Muhammad Rehan, Reyast Ali, Shah Alam, Rashid Saifi and Zubair Ahmed while accused Zubair Ahmed has been released from jail.
Bail has been granted for all these accused in FIR No. 117/2020, 80/2020, 120/2020, 119/2020. Earlier, the bail of accused Reyast Ali, Shah Alam, Rashid Saifi, Arshad Qayyum, Mohammad Shadab, Mohammad Abid and other accused was granted by Karkarduma Sessions Court Judge Vinod Kumar Yadav.
Delhi High Court and the lower court ordered the accused to be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.25,000, though the public prosecutor vehemently opposed the release of the accused on bail, and told the court that releasing the accused on bail could disrupt the peace. But the court agreed with the arguments of the defence lawyers and granted bail to the accused.
Advocate Zaheer-ud-Din Babar Chauhan and his assistant Advocate Dinesh appeared for the accused on behalf of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind.
Maulana Arshad Madani, President Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, has welcomed the release on bail of 24 more people who were forcibly taken by the police in the Delhi riots. He also said that the release on bail is not merely the intention of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind but it is an attempt to bring justice to the innocent people who have been arrested in the riots on false charges. He said that the team of lawyers of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind is working on this point and their release on bail is the first success of the lawyers but our legal struggle will continue until such people are given complete justice.
