The Delhi High Court on Monday granted bail to a man accused of being part of a mob which brutally attacked a police station, during the riots in north east Delhi last year, which resulted in the death of a head constable and grievous injuries to two senior police officers.
Justice Suresh K Kait granted the relief to the accused for the reasons that the fourth charge sheet has already been filed in the case, trial shall take substantial amount of time and the petitioner, who was in prison since November 2020, cannot be made to languish behind bars for an indefinite period of time .
