Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the petitions seeking interim bail for Mohammad Azam Khan in connection with multiple criminal cases, primarily focusing on FIR No.70 of 2020 under Sections 420 and 120B of the IPC. The petitioner argued that the numerous cases against him were politically motivated, arising after the current government took power. The court considered the implications of the ongoing legal proceedings and the petitioner's claims of harassment, ultimately deciding on the interim bail application.
