The Delhi High Court on Friday deferred hearing till November 21 on bail pleas of Khalid Saifi and other accused persons in a UAPA case related to the alleged conspiracy behind the 2020 riots.

A bench of Justices Siddharth Mridul and Rajnish Bhatnagar said that being a special bench, it does not assemble on a regular basis and therefore, it has to "take a call" on whether these bail pleas can be heard by it or if they have to be sent to the designated bench for such cases.
