**SP’s Azam Khan Released from Sitapur Jail After 2 Years**

*By Snehil Singh | Sep 23, 2025, 01:45 pm*

Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan was released from Sitapur jail after nearly two years of incarceration. His release followed bail being granted in all cases against him, as reported by news agency ANI.

### Legal Developments

On September 18, the Allahabad High Court granted Azam Khan bail in the Quality Bar land encroachment case in Uttar Pradesh’s Rampur district. The bail was granted by a bench headed by Justice Samir Jain after hearing arguments from all parties involved.

The Quality Bar land encroachment case dates back to 2019 and was originally filed against Khan’s wife, Tazeen Fatma, son Abdullah Azam, and Syed Jafar Ali Jafri. Khan himself was named an accused during the course of a reinvestigation.

In another significant legal development, Khan was acquitted last week by a special MP-MLA court in a 17-year-old case related to road blockade and damage to public property.

### Anticipated Gathering and Security Measures

Ahead of Khan’s release, the district administration imposed prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) to prevent any potential violence. The police utilized drone surveillance to monitor the situation due to anticipated large gatherings in support of Khan.

Despite these security measures, a large number of supporters gathered near the jail, leading to traffic congestion in the area.

### Political Reactions

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav welcomed the court’s decision and Khan’s release. He stated, “I would like to thank the court for this. We, the Samajwadis, believed that the court would do justice. We hope that in the time to come, no false cases will be filed and no injustice will be done by the BJP.”

SP MLA Shivpal Singh Yadav also expressed his support for the court’s decision and dismissed speculations regarding Khan joining the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP).

**Bombay High Court Dismisses Plea Seeking Stay on Release of Jolly LLB 3**

The Bombay High Court on Wednesday dismissed a petition that sought to stall the release of *Jolly LLB 3*, the highly anticipated courtroom drama starring Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi. Directed by Subhash Kapoor, the film is scheduled to hit theatres this Friday, September 19.

The plea, filed by the Association for Aiding Justice, alleged that the film ridiculed lawyers and judges. It also objected to the song *Bhai Vakeel Hai*, claiming it demeaned the legal profession.

During the hearing, advocate Dipesh Siroya, representing the petitioner, pointed to a scene where judges are referred to as “mamu,” calling the term derogatory. However, the bench comprising Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Gautam Ankhad dismissed these concerns outright.

“We have been facing mockery since day one. Don’t worry about us,” the judges remarked while rejecting the plea.

The court was also informed that the Allahabad High Court had already dismissed a similar petition against the film.

Meanwhile, legal challenges to *Jolly LLB 3* are being heard in other states as well. The Madhya Pradesh High Court recently reprimanded a lawyer for filing a case without including the filmmakers as parties. Similarly, the Gujarat High Court instructed a petitioner to consider the Allahabad High Court’s order before proceeding further.

Despite these objections, *Jolly LLB 3* remains on track for its scheduled release on September 19.
