Bail applications should not be heard for more than 10 minutes: Supreme Court in Sharjeel Imam plea

The Court today said that such observations creep into the judgment when bail matters are heard at length as if the Court is hearing a final appeal against conviction.

“These things (observations etc) only happen when bails are argued for so long like final appeals on conviction etc,” the bench said.

Khalid’s bail plea had been heard for over 20 days before the Court had rejected it while also making remarks against Imam.

The Court today allowed Imam’s plea and ordered that any observation made by the Delhi High Court regarding role of Imam will not prejudice him in any manner.

“We have noticed in para 68 that the division bench has clarified that observations will not impact merits of the case. . Therefore we clarify that any observation made regarding role of petitioner will not prejudice the petitioner in any manner,” the top court said.
