ASG Raju of Yogi Adityanath government in Supreme Court said Azam Khan is a habitual criminal

The Supreme Court may have reserved its decision on the bail of Samajwadi Party founder member Azam Khan, but the ASG, which is advocating the case on behalf of the Uttar Pradesh government, has described Azam Khan as a habitual offender. 

Azam Khan's lawyer had told the court that the High Court has reserved its decision on Bail's application. The Allahabad High Court had reserved its decision on Azam Khan's bail on 5 February. It was a matter related to confiscation of property. In a case registered against Azam Khan, he is accused of taking possession of enemy property and misusing public funds worth crores of rupees. It is alleged that after partition, Imamuddin Qureshi went to Pakistan and his property came under the purview of enemy property.

Describing senior SP leader Azam Khan as a land mafia, the state government has opposed bail in the Supreme Court. The UP government said that Azam Khan is a 'habitual criminal'. Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, appearing in the court on behalf of the UP government, told Justice L. Before the bench headed by Nageswara Rao, he said that Azam Khan is a land mafia.

Additional Solicitor General SV Raju told the court that serious cases were registered against them. Bail has been granted in three cases. Azam Khan is seeking interim bail from the court, but it should not be allowed. Raju said that many such cases are also registered against him, in which life imprisonment can be done. Attention should also be paid to the cases already registered against him, as he is a habitual criminal and land mafia. Raju said that even though Azam Khan is a very influential leader, the cases registered against him cannot be ignored on the basis of this.
