Srinagar: Delhi High Court on Thursday issued a notice to National Investigation Agency (NIA) after Member Parliament Er Rashid’s counsel moved the Court to seek bail for the client.

Er. Rashid has in his plea sought directions from the High Court to the trial court judge to expedite a decision on his pending regular bail application.

Alternatively, the MP Baramulla has requested the Delhi High Court to adjudicate the matter and make a ruling on the bail, reported ANI.

Meanwhile, Chief Spokesperson of the Awami Ittehad Party (AIP), Inam Un Nabi, shared the development on X formally Twitter, stating: “Delhi High Court issues notice to NIA in a plea moved by AIP President and MP Baramulla Engineer Rasheed Sb seeking bail. Through the plea, he 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.”

“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,” reads a statement issued here.

“AIP has expressed hope for a fair and expeditious ruling in the case,” the statement further reads.
