Delhi | Wednesday | 15th January, 2020

Summary:

New Delhi: Tis Hazari Additional Sessions Judge Kamini Lau on Wednesday granted bail to Bhim Army chief Chandra Shekhar Azaad on the condition that he remain out of Delhi for the next four weeks, owing to the Assembly election scheduled to take place between February 8 and 11 here in the Capital. When Azaad's counsel argued to let his client remain at his Delhi home due to the security threat he faces in Uttar Pradesh, the court said that appropriate protection for the Bhim Army chief would be ensured during his stay there. Judge Lau also said that Azaad would need to inform the DCP (Crime) in Delhi before visiting AIIMS here for his treatment. Judge Lau had also said on Tuesday that people had resorted to coming out on the streets because things that were supposed to be said in Parliament were not being said. But on Wednesday, the judge questioned why people were resorting to protest before engaging in dialogue..
