The Delhi High Court on Tuesday enlarged on bail 23 weeks’ pregnant Safoora Zargar, the Jamia Coordination Committee media coordinator who was arrested in connection with the north-east Delhi violence case. Justice Rajiv Shakdher passed the order after the Central government, represented by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, agreed to Ms. Zargar's bail plea on humanitarian grounds. The high court further said Ms. Zargar will refrain from influencing or hampering the ongoing investigation. If Ms. Zargar is required to leave NCT of Delhi, she will seek permission of the court concerned, the high court said. Advocate Nitya Ramakrishnan, appearing for Ms. Zargar, agreed to the terms and conditions set by the court.
