In The Jamia Discharge, A Challenge To The Delhi Riots Conspiracy Case

A judge’s order discharging students accused of rioting at Jamia Millia Islamia University on 13 December 2019, while upholding the fundamental right to protest, weakens another case of the Delhi police: the conspiracy behind the Delhi riots of which the violence at Jamia is a part according to the police.

In finding no prima facie case against three student activists accused in both cases, the order challenges the criminality linked with the anti-CAA movement and the projection of protesters as riot planners.
