India, Jan. 5 -- Jailed for over five years, student activists Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam will finally walk out of jail or not will be known on Monday, January 5, as the Supreme Court is set to pronounce its verdict on their bail please along with that of five others accused in the alleged "larger conspiracy" case linked to the 2020 Delhi riots.

A bench of justices Aravind Kumar and NV Anjaria had on December 10 last year reserved its judgment after hearing arguments from the accused and the Delhi Police, which has invoked the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) to oppose their release.
