The court has directed the release on bail of Mohammed Saquib Ansari and Waqar Azhar, subject to conditions imposed by the trial court and provided they were not required in any other case, the legal news outlet reported. Ansari and Azhar had already secured bail in one of the Rajasthan cases, while their sentences in the other case were suspended by the Rajasthan High Court in 2021, Live Law reported. The petitioners moved the Supreme Court after the Delhi High Court, in its April 24 judgment, upheld the trial court’s rejection of their bail pleas in the Delhi Police’s case. The court examined the status of the Delhi trial through the e-Courts portal and noted that only 68 of the 197 prosecution witnesses had been examined. It further observed that just two witnesses had been examined since January 2025, including one whose testimony remained incomplete.
