Uttar Pradesh : Big relief to SP leader Azam Khan from Supreme Court, no action will be taken against Jauhar University

SP leader Azam Khan has got a big relief from the Supreme Court regarding the possibility of sabotage in Jauhar University. The Supreme Court has said that at present there will be no government action in Jauhar University. The Supreme Court also stayed the Allahabad High Court’s decision on the condition of handing over 13.8 hectares of land to the DM as bail.

In the Supreme Court, a bench of Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice Bela Madhurya Trivedi said that the condition imposed by the Allahabad High Court for grant of bail is prima facie disproportionate. According to the order of the High Court, it has no proper relation with the means of ensuring the presence of the accused. The Supreme Court has issued a notice in this regard and has also sought answers from the Uttar Pradesh government and the university administration.

Azam came out of jail after 27 months

Let us inform that Azam Khan has come out of jail after about 27 months only a few days ago. A three-judge bench of the Supreme Court on Thursday granted interim bail to Azam Khan. He is lodged in Sitapur Jail of UP since 27 February 2020. After the arrival of the Yogi government in UP, such legal screws were tightened against Azam Khan that a total of 89 cases were registered one after the other. On 26 February 2020, Azam was arrested in Rampur and is lodged in Sitapur jail since 27 February 2020. Now after being in jail for 27 months, Azam Khan has got bail in all the cases.

Azam surrendered on 26 February

On 26 February 2020, Azam Khan, Tanzeem Fatima and son Abdullah Azam surrendered in the court of Rampur. After this, they were kept in Rampur Jail and on the second day on February 27, all three were shifted to Sitapur Jail. The district administration feared that due to Azam Khan’s stay in Rampur, the law and order situation in the district could deteriorate. In December 2021, his wife came out of jail on bail and then in March 2022, Abdullah Azam got bail.
