[Azam Khan] Allahabad High Court bail condition directing DM to take possession of Jauhar University property stayed by Supreme Court

Until he was granted interim bail recently, Khan had been languishing in jail since February 2020, facing nearly a 100 criminal cases ranging from buffalo and goat theft to land-grabbing and electricity theft.

Despite the Allahabad High Court having granted him bail in multiple cases, Khan was lodged at the Sitapur Jail, as orders in other bail applications by him had been reserved but not pronounced yet.

In February, the Supreme Court had refused to entertain a plea filed by Khan seeking interim bail to campaign for the upcoming Uttar Pradesh assembly elections.

The top court had also asked Khan’s counsel to first approach the High Court for bail.

The bail pleas filed through advocate Lzafeer Ahmad BF stated that Khan has secured bail in 84 of the 87 allegedly politically-motivated cases filed against him.

Earlier this month, the Supreme Court took exception to new complaints propping up against the veteran Samajwadi Party leader every time he was granted bail by courts.

Subsequently, on May 19, the Supreme Court granted Khan interim bail in an alleged cheating case paving way for his release from prison.
