A Delhi Court on Saturday has granted bail to former Aam Aadmi Party Councillor Tahir Hussain in a northeast Delhi violence case registered at Dayalpur police station.
Hussain was granted bail in five separate cases related to the northeast Delhi violence two months ago. However, he will remain in judicial custody in other FIRs registered against him, including the UAPA case. A total of 11 FIRs were registered against Tahir Hussain in connection with the violence.
Additional Sessions Judge Pulastya Pramachala while granting bail to Hussain, noted that the two FIRs in which the High Court granted bail, and the case at hand, took place at proximate time and places. The judge also noted that many witnesses are common in all FIRs.
“In that situation, even though a bail order may not be a precedent for other case, in the peculiar situation, bail granted to the applicant by a court higher in hierarchy to this court, does create a material change in the circumstances in favour of the applicant,” the court said.
