The advocate for the accused claimed that his clients were not given any notice under section 41 of the CrPC. He said that as the voice recording of the accused had been sent to the forensic lab there was no real evidence against them. Hence he requested the court for a bail. The court ordered the accused to be released on conditional bail after listening to the arguments on both sides.

A case was registered in the Vidhana Soudha police station on February 27 accusing the three of chanting ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans during the victory celebrations of the Congress candidate Naseer Hussain in RS polls. The police had taken the accused into custody once an FIR was registered.

New Delhi, Nov 14: All schools up to Class 5 in Delhi will switch to online learning till further directions in view of rising pollution levels in the city, Chief Minister Atishi said on Thursday.

With pollution reaching alarming levels, the central pollution watchdog CAQM imposed restrictions under GRAP Stage III in Delhi-NCR earlier on Thursday.

The national capital's air quality remained in the 'severe' category for a second consecutive day, prompting the authorities to impose the stringent anti-pollution measures.

The restrictions will come into force from Friday.

"Due to rising pollution levels, all primary schools in Delhi will be shifting to online classes, until further directions," Atishi, who also holds the education portfolio, said in a post on X.

Measures under the third stage of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) announced by the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) include shifting schools up to Class 5 to online mode.

GRAP for the National Capital Region (NCR) is classified under four different stages of adverse air quality in Delhi: Stage I -- 'poor' (AQI 201-300); Stage II -- 'very poor' (AQI 301-400); Stage III -- 'severe' (AQI 401-450); and Stage IV -- 'severe plus' (AQI >450).
