The Delhi High Court on Monday refused to allow an application filed by Shifa Ur Rehman, an accused in the Delhi riots larger conspiracy case, seeking an early hearing of his bail plea, citing his 71-year-old mother’s health.

A bench of Justices Navin Chawla and Shalinder Kaur, however, scheduled the hearing for 3.30 pm on November 25, the date when the petition was otherwise expected to be taken up.
