Delhi HC seeks NIA stand over interim bail plea by MP Rashid Engineer
The Delhi High Court on Thursday sought the NIA’s stand on a plea by jailed MP Rashid Engineer seeking interim bail in a terror-funding case to attend Parliament.
Justice Vikas Mahajan said, “Let the needful be done before the next date of hearing.” Rashid said he wished to attend the upcoming budget session of Parliament, which begins on January 31 and concludes on April 4.
Senior advocate Sidharth Luthra, appearing for the NIA, said he would seek instructions on the issue. In the alternative, Rashid sought custody parole during the Budget session. The plea forms part of his pending petition on the issue of granting him bail in the case by the NIA.
