Allahabad High Court had on June 10 dismissed Zubair's plea for quashing FIR, prompting him to approach Supreme Court
This comes on a day when Mohammed Zubair moved the Supreme Court for quashing of FIR registered by the UP Police and claimed that he was receiving death threats.
The journalist, however, will not be able to walk free immediately as he is in judicial custody in a separate case filed by the Delhi Police.
The case was registered by the UP police for hurting religious sentiments based on a tweet against Mahant Bajrang Muni, Yati Narsinghanand and Swami Anand Swaroop referring to them as 'hate mongers'.
Zubair's bail is subject to conditions that he will not leave the jurisdiction of the magistrate's court in Sitapur which sent him to police custody on July 7, and that he will not tweet during this period.
