Prayagraj: On March 3, the Allahabad High Court dismissed the petition filed by the Uttar Pradesh Government seeking bail cancellation of Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan.
In order to file a petition in this case, the High Court instructed the UP Government to go to a lower court. The hearing of the case was done under a single bench of Justice DK Singh.
The High Court received a request from the Uttar Pradesh Government to revoke Azam Khan’s bail, which had been granted in 13 cases. It has to be noted that Allahabad High Court had already granted bail to Azam Khan in all these cases.
Azam Khan was represented in this matter by Rajya Sabha member and Supreme Court advocate Vivek Tankha.
Earlier, Allahabad High court in May 2022 had granted interim bail to Azam Khan concerning a wrongful possession of Waqf board property land.
In another fraud case, the Supreme Court of India also temporarily released Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan in May 2022. It has to be noted that SP leader Azam Khan was lodged in Sitapur Jail from Feb 2020 to May 2022 on account of multiple charges against him.
