Rashid had pleaded his case which is in connection with a 2017 alleged terror funding case.
Srinagar, Sep 04: Delhi’s Patiala House Court on Wednesday adjourned the passing of order on the bail plea of jailed parliamentarian and Awami Ittehad Party (AIP) chief, Sheikh Abdul Rashid or Engineer Rashid for September 11, 2024, ANI reported.
Rashid had pleaded bail in connection with a 2017 alleged terror funding case.
On August 27, the court of Additional Sessions Judge reserved its order in the case after hearing the arguments on Rashid’s bail application.
Earlier, the court also issued a notice to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
In July, the court also directed Rashid’s release on custodial parole for two hours to take oath as a Lok Sabha member after he won the Baramulla Lok Sabha seat in Parliamentary Elections held earlier this year.
Rashid defeated the National Conference leader and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah, by about one lakh votes in the Lok Sabha elections held earlier this year.
Since the announcement of General Elections to Legelative Assembly in J&K, many leaders have joined the jailed politician’s AIP.
With little resources, Rashid’s family has campaigned for him since the Lok Sabha elections. (Greater Kashmir)
