Rejecting his plea, the top court said that his appeal against the conviction in the case may be taken up for hearing after the court starts its physical hearing.“Sorry.We are not inclined.

Dismissed,” a bench headed by Chief Justice S A Bobde said.

Senior advocate Vikas Singh, appearing for Kumar, argued that interim bail is granted to Kumar on health grounds as he has been in jail for 20 months and has lost nearly 16 kg weight and needs to recover from past ailments.

Senior advocate H S Phoolka, who has been appearing for some of the riot victims, opposed the plea and said whatever treatment is needed Kumar is already being given the same at the hospital.

In 2018, the Delhi High Court had sentenced Kumar to life imprisonment and held him guilty of murder, promoting enmity between groups, and defiling public property.

The Court had reversed a lower court’s 2013 ruling that had acquitted Kumar.He was sent to jail after he surrendered before a trial court on December 31.
