Imam's application, which was filed by advocates Talib Mustafa, Ahmad Ibrahim, and Kartik Venu, thus stated that the case made out against him stands diluted and improves his case for


bail significantly. "In view of the Hon'ble Supreme Court's directions, the hindrance raised by the Ld. Special Court in the impugned order stands obviated, and observations


surrounding the offence under section 124-A IPC cannot be taken into consideration in the proceedings against the Appellant pending the final outcome of the Constitutional challenges to the


section," the application stated, as per _Bar and Bench_. The court is scheduled to hear Imam's fresh plea on 17 May. Another case against him with regard to the Delhi riots is


listed for hearing on 23 May. It had also said that the relevant parties charged under sedition could approach different courts for relief. _(With inputs from Bar and Bench.)_
