New Delhi: The Delhi Rouse Avenue court on Tuesday granted an anticipatory bail to Aam Aadmi Party legislator Amanatullah Khan in a public servant obstruction case.
Earlier, Delhi police registered a case against Amanatullah Khan for obstructing public servants in the Jamia Nagar area on February 10, 2025.
Special judge Jitendra Singh granted anticipatory bail to AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan. He has been granted anticipatory bail on furnishing a bond of Rs. 25000 and one surety in the like amount.
The court has imposed some other conditions including that he will join the investigation as and when asked by the investigation officer, he will not threat any witness, he will not tamper with the evidence, etc.
“Even if for the sake of argument, the allegations taken against the applicant is taken to be true, the exercise of the right of private defence by the accused Shahwez Khan in escaping from the wrongful confinement and facilitation of the accused Shahwez Khan in exercise of this right by the applicant does not amount to obstruction in the so-called official discharge of duty by the police team. Therefore, I am of the opinion that applicant Amanatullah Khan deserves anticipatory bail in the instant matter,” the Special Judge said in the order.
He was granted interim protection and asked to join the investigation on February 13.
