Update at 7 PM : Noida Protest | After Indicating Grant Of Bail, Allahabad High Court Defers Journalist Satyam Verma's Plea To Hear State's Objections

The Allahabad High Court today indicated the grant of bail to Journalist Satyam Verma in one of the elevan criminal cases registered against him in connection with the April 2026 Noida workers' protest.

Verma, however, is not expected to walk out of jail, as he remains in custody in connection with other criminal cases. He has also been separately detained under the stringent National Security Act (NSA).

A bench of Justice Krishan Pahal dictated an oral order for bail in Case Crime No. 164 of 2026, registered at a Police Station in Gautam Buddh Nagar. The FIR has invoked several provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act.

It may be noted that on June 23, the High Court had granted bail to co-accused Shiv Kumar @ Shiva in the same case.

In that order, the Court noted that Shiv Kumar was not named in the FIR and that the FIR had been lodged against a mob. He had been in jail since April 14, 2026.

The Court, after considering the rival submissions, the FIR and other relevant documents, had observed thus:

"I am of the considered view that applicant has made a case for bail. The bail application is allowed".

The Court specifically considered the nature of the offence, evidence, complicity of the accused and severity of punishment, while making it clear that it was not expressing any opinion on the merits of the case.

Background about Verma

Verma, who is also the editor of Mazdoor Bigul Dasta, was arrested in Lucknow on April 17 in connection with cases arising from the workers' protest.

He was subsequently booked separately under the National Security Act on May 13 along with Student Activist Akriti Chaudhary.

However, Chaudhary's NSA detention was recently quashed by the Allahabad High Court, which also made strong remarks against the Noida DM, Medha Roopam, and criticized her for the manner in which the detention order was passed.

The Uttar Pradesh Police has alleged that Verma played an important role in the violence, arson and spread of disorder during the workers' protest and attempted to disrupt public order by allegedly provoking people in various areas.

The workers were protesting for a wage hike and improved working conditions.

According to media reports, incidents including vehicle burning, trespassing, and stone pelting were reported at some places on April 13, following which police lathi-charged workers and detained hundreds of workers and seven activists.

Advocate Abhishek Dwivedi appeared for Verma
