New Delhi, January 23: The Delhi High Court has issued a notice to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) regarding a bail plea filed by AIP President and Baramulla Member of Parliament (MP) Engineer Rashid.
Inam Un Nabi, Chief Spokesperson of the Awami Ittehad Party (AIP), shared the update on X (formerly Twitter), stating: "Delhi High Court issues notice to NIA in a plea moved by AIP President and MP Baramulla Engineer Rashid 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 hearing is set for January 30, 2025."
AIP leaders have consistently argued that the charges against him are politically motivated, aimed at silencing his advocacy for the democratic rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
The next hearing is scheduled for January 30, 2025, with AIP expressing hope for a fair and timely ruling.
