The Supreme Court on Friday pointed to serious issues on the Delhi High Court's decision to grant bail to Natasha Narwal, Devangana Kalita and Asif Iqbal Tanha in north-east Delhi riot cases and ordered that it could not be used as an example by others. The accused sought bail while Delhi Police said they were not demanding that the trio be put back in jail.

The supreme court has refused to stay the high court's decision this week on a petition filed by delhi police. The Supreme Court said, "It is shocking that a 100-page decision in a bail plea has discussed the entire law. It is bothering us. There are many questions which raise questions about the legality of the UAPA which was not challenged before the High Court at all. These were bail petitions. '

A bench of Justices Hemant Gupta and V Ramasubramanian said that "Restricting the scope of the Unlawful Activities Prevention) Act UAPA) by the High Court in its decision to grant bail to three student activists in the Delhi riots case is an important issue which has had an impact on the entire country. So, there is a need for interpretation by the Supreme Court. The Supreme court has issued notices to JNU students Natasha Narwal and Devangana Kalita and Jamia student Asif Iqbal Tanha on appeals of Delhi Police challenging the high court's decision. The three accused are to respond to the appeal within four weeks. The matter will now come up for hearing in the week beginning july 19".
