Delhi riots accused Guflisha Fatima and The Wire's desparate attempt to portray her as victim

“A half-truth is even more dangerous than a lie. Notably, she was represented by ISIS poster boy Mehmood Pracha during the hearing after which the judge “disposed of the bail application of applicant/accused Gulfisha filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure on 18.06.2021.” The court order highlighted that the prosecution asserted, “Delhi Riots 2020 was a large-scale and deep-rooted conspiracy hatched after the passing of the resolution by Cabinet Committee to present CAB in both Houses of Parliament on 04.12.2019.” It mentioned how Umar Khalid, Gulfisha, Tahir Hussain, Sharjeel Imam and others plotted the conspiracy to create unrest in the national capital in the name of CAA protests. There was a clear message on DPSG Whatsapp chat where one member clearly said that ‘danga nahin karne denge tumhe aur tumhare doston ko’.” He stated that Owais Sultan Khan, a member of DPSG “cites what the Pinjra Tod is saying that ‘Kafan Baandh ke aaye hain, aur joh humare saath nahin, who desh ka gaddar hai’ in response to the local women protesters requesting them not to block the road.” “On 23.02.2020, Janhavi, Rahul Roy and Tabrej are involved in clandestine transportation of large number of people, mainly women and children from Jahangir Puri to Jafrabad via Shaheen Bagh. Protected witness ‘ECHO’ had stated that Gul and her friends Devangana and Proma Roy were doing a protest near Central Bank, Seelampur.” The order mentioned, “Natasha was also present. It was contended on being asked, that the order dated 18.06.2021 of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India granting a stay of the effect of the order of the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi and directing the High Court judgment not to be treated as a precedent, will have not any effect as it is not speaking order and bail can still be granted on parity in view of the Hon’ble High Court judgment.” Moreover, it observed, “In the opinion of this Court, by making such a submission in the bail application, by filing the bail order dated 15.06.2020 of the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi and during arguments, and that too so vehemently, not only is the counsel negating the order of Hon’ble Supreme Court of India granting a stay of the order of bail dated 15.06.2021 of the Division Bench of the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi, but also asking this Court to essentially follow the High Court order, the effect of which has been stayed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India and thus, to disregard the order of the Hon’ble Apex Court.” It also quoted the Supreme Court and declared, “In the meantime, the impugned judgment shall not be treated as a precedent and may not be relied upon by any of the parties in any of the proceedings.” The court then delivered its verdict, “Hence, in view of the order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, it is clear that the impugned judgment dated 15.06.2020 was neither to be treated as a precedent nor to be relied upon by any of the parties in any of the proceedings.
