New Delhi, March 13 The Delhi High Court on Friday allowed Neelam Azad, who is out on bail in the 2023 Parliament security breach case, to leave the capital to take an entrance examination for pursuing an LLB course.
A bench of Justices Subramonium Prasad and Harish Vaidyanathan Shankar modified Azad's bail conditions and asked her to inform the investigating officer about the date of the entrance test.
The court granted bail to Azad on July 2, 2025, while imposing several conditions, including that she would not leave Delhi without the court's permission.
In her application, Azad urged the court to modify the bail conditions, stating that she belonged to a poor family and wanted to visit and reside in her native village in Haryana.
She also said that she intended to pursue an LLB, which required her to take the entrance examination, which might be outside Delhi.
Her counsel assured that she has been complying with all the bail conditions.
"The applicant intends to pursue an LLB, for which she would have to take the entrance examination. The applicant is permitted to inform the investigating officer about the date of the examination and is permitted to leave the city to take the examination and report back," the court ordered.
The court also permitted her to visit and reside in her native village and asked her to visit the local police station on the fifteenth of every month.
The bail order had required her to report to the local police station every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 10 am.
The Delhi Police counsel said that the chargesheet has been filed in the case, and the investigation is complete.
On the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament terror attack, accused Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D allegedly jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the public gallery during Zero Hour, released yellow gas from canisters and sloganeered before some MPs overpowered them.
Around the same time, two other accused -- Amol Shinde and Azad -- allegedly sprayed coloured gas from canisters while shouting "dictatorship won't work" outside the Parliament premises.
In the bail order, the court said that the protest was "more symbolic rather than giving apprehension of a substantial threat or having been done with terrorist intent."
