The Allahabad High Court on Wednesday (September 10, 2025) granted bail to Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan in a case in which residents of Rampur's Dungarpur colony were allegedly evicted forcefully.
Justice Sameer Jain allowed the bail in the appeal filed by a senior SP leader against his conviction and 10-year sentence given by an MP/MLA court in Rampur.

The High Court had reserved its order on the plea filed by Khan and one contractor named Barkat Ali, who has also filed an appeal in the High Court after he was sentenced to seven years in prison.
On May 30, last year, the MP-MLA court sentenced Khan to 10 years imprisonment following which he moved the high court.
