CJI DY Chandrachud Busts Myths Around Umar Khalid’s Bail, Points to Defense Delays

National Purushottam Tiwari - September 4, 2025

Former Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud has debunked claims that judicial delays are keeping activist Umar Khalid behind bars, instead pointing to repeated adjournments and the eventual withdrawal of his bail plea by his own legal team, led by Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal. Chandrachud clarified that court records show Khalid’s lawyers sought adjournments on half the listed hearings in the Supreme Court, challenging narratives of a biased judiciary. With the Delhi High Court again rejecting Khalid’s bail plea on September 2, 2025, Chandrachud’s remarks shift focus to defense tactics and legal strategies, rather than judicial conduct, as the main reason for delays in the high-profile case.
