In this episode of Conversations with The Leaflet, Dr. Abhishek Manu Singhvi, Senior Advocate practising at the Supreme Court of India and Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha), is in conversation with Anand Grover, co-founder of The Leaflet and Senior Advocate. The discussion centres on the Supreme Court’s recent judgment in Gulfisha Fatima v. State (Govt. of NCT of Delhi), which denied bail to Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam, while granting bail to five other co-detenus arrested in connection with the 2020 Delhi riots case under the UAPA.

Dr. Singhvi critically examines how the Court’s differential approach to bail departs from binding precedent and the erosion of personal liberty under Article 21 of the Constitution.

This episode is essential viewing for lawyers, students, scholars, and anyone concerned with constitutionalism, civil liberties, and the future of bail jurisprudence in India.
