Saket Court has rejected an application to cancel the bail granted to an illegal Bangladeshi immigrant. Additional Sessions Judge Gaurav Gupta was hearing an application filed by the Delhi Police, which sought the cancellation of bail for Bangladeshi citizen Bilal Hosen, who had entered India illegally.
Allegations Of Identity Fraud And Illegal Entry
Hosen is accused of being involved in illegally bringing Bangladeshi citizens into India and arranging Indian identity cards for them. The police stated that Aadhaar cards and PAN cards in the names of several people were found in his possession.
According to the investigating officer, the verification of the recovered Aadhaar cards is still pending as they are awaiting a response from the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).
Court Observations On Custody And Liberty
In an order dated 28 January, the court stated that there is nothing to suggest that the accused has misused his liberty in any way or has violated any of the bail conditions. Merely because the accused is an illegal immigrant cannot be the sole ground for keeping them in custody indefinitely.
The court said that however, if any new facts come to light in the future or any new evidence is collected by the investigating agency that necessitates the accused's custody, the prosecution will be at liberty to file a fresh application in this regard.

Previous Bail Order And Trial Status
On November 24, 2025, Chief Judicial Magistrate Mridul Gupta had granted bail to Hosen, noting that all necessary items had been recovered. The chargesheet has already been filed, therefore Hosen cannot be denied bail solely on the grounds that other wanted individuals are yet to be arrested.
