Jammu: The Delhi High court on Thursday seeks NIA response in a bail application of Member parliament North Kashmir Engineer Rashid.
Chief Spokesperson of Awami Ittehad Party (AIP) Inam-un-Nabi in a post on X, shared “Delhi High Court has issued a notice to the NIA in response to a plea moved by Awami Ittehad Party (AIP) chief and Baramulla Member of Parliament (MP), Engineer Rashid seeking bail.”
He added that Engineer Rashid through the plea has sought directions from the High Court to the trial court judge to expedite a decision on his pending regular bail application.
“Alternatively, he has requested the Delhi High Court to adjudicate the matter and make a ruling on the bail. The next date of hearing is January 30, 2025,” he said.
This plea is seen as part of Engineer Rashid’s ongoing legal battle to secure his release from prolonged incarceration.
The AIP leadership has consistently maintained that the charges against their leader are politically motivated and aimed at silencing his advocacy for the democratic rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
The next hearing of the case is scheduled for January 30, 2025.
