Jammu and Kashmir MP Sheikh Abdul Rashid alias Engineer Rashid, facing charges under the anti-terror law UAPA, on Tuesday moved the Delhi High Court for custody parole to attend the ongoing Parliament session.<\/p>\n
A bench of Justices Prathiba M Singh and Rajneesh Kumar Gupta would on March 12 hear Rashid’s appeal against the trial court order, which refused him the relief on March 10.<\/p>\n
Custody parole entails a prisoner being escorted by armed police personnel to the place of visit.<\/p>\n
The Baramulla MP, who defeated Chief Minister Omar Abdullah in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, is facing trial in a terror funding case with the allegations that he funded separatists and terror groups in Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n
Before the trial court, he sought the custody parole on the grounds that being a parliamentarian, he needed to attend the session to fulfil his public duty.<\/p>\n
As an interim relief, the high court on February 10 allowed him a two-day custody parole to attend the Parliament session on February 11 and 13.<\/p>\n
Additional sessions judge Chander Jit Singh, however, dismissed his plea and posted the order on Rashid’s regular bail plea on March 19.<\/p>\n
Rahid has been lodged in Tihar Jail since 2019 after the NIA arrested him under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in the 2017 terror-funding case.<\/p>\n
His name cropped up during the investigation of Kashmiri businessman Zahoor Watali, who was arrested by the NIA for allegedly funding terrorist groups and separatists in the Kashmir Valley.<\/p>\n
The NIA filed a chargesheet against several persons, including Kashmiri separatist leader Yasin Malik, Lashkar-e-Taiba founder Hafiz Saeed and Hizbul Mujahideen chief Syed Salahuddin, in the case.<\/p>\n
Malik was sentenced to life imprisonment by a trial court in 2022 after he pleaded guilty to the charges.<\/p>\n
