The Delhi High Court has overturned a bail order granted to a 25-year-old man accused of participating in the January 7 violence during an anti-encroachment drive in the Turkman Gate area of central Delhi. The drive, which targeted encroachments near the Faiz-e-Ilahi Mosque, sparked clashes. The High Court criticized the initial bail order as 'cryptic' and 'unreasoned,' directing the trial court to reconsider the plea. However, due to a roster judge's absence, the matter was delayed and will now be heard on Saturday.
