Rashid has been lodged in the Tihar jail since 2019 after he was arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in the 2017 terror funding case.
The Independent MP has been lodged in Delhi's Tihar jail since 2019, after he was arrested by the NIA under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in a 2017 terror-funding case.
Rashid has sought either interim bail or custody parole on the grounds that he was a parliamentarian and needed to attend the upcoming Winter session of Parliament from December 1 to fulfil his public ...
The bench also made it clear that while attending the session, Rashid would not be permitted to use a phone or the internet, nor engage with or address the media.
In the reply filed to the appeal on March 17, the NIA said Rashid couldn’t be allowed to use his status as an MP to “get away from the rigours of imprisonment”.
