Delhi High Court denies bail to Umar Khalid

The bench comprising Justices Siddharth Mridul and Rajnish Bhatnagar chose to give a narrow interpretation to the word 'revolution', equating it to only violent protests, although the term has been widely used in India to denote change. Former chief ministers of Tamil Nadu, the late M.G. Ramachandran and the late J. Jayalalitha had been hailed by their followers as 'revolutionary leaders', while the veteran socialist political leader, the late Jayaprakash Narayan had given a call for 'total revolution' in the days preceding the declaration of Emergency in 1975 to mobilise people.
