Baramulla MP Sheikh Abdul Rashid has approached the Delhi High Court with a bail application under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) in connection with the 2017 terror-funding case.

His lawyer stated that they have sought directions from the High Court to the trial court judge to expedite a decision on Rashid’s pending regular bail application. Alternatively, they have requested the Delhi High Court to adjudicate the matter and make a ruling on the bail.

The matter is scheduled to be heard by the Delhi High Court tomorrow.

Recently, Delhi’s Patiala House Court rejected an application seeking a decision on the regular bail plea of Rashid, Member of Parliament, in connection with the Jammu and Kashmir terror-funding case. The court clarified that, at this stage, it is only empowered to address miscellaneous applications and not to rule on the regular bail petition.

Previously, the district judge returned the case to the ASJ court after a request from the ASJ for the matter to be transferred to a designated court for lawmakers, given Rashid’s status as an MP. This transfer request was made with the consent of both the accused and the prosecuting agency, the National Investigation Agency (NIA). The district judge’s decision came after noting that the issue of court jurisdiction was still pending before the Delhi High Court. Until the High Court rules on jurisdiction, the ASJ court will continue to hear the case.

Both Rashid’s counsel and the NIA had agreed to keep the matter in the current court. In addition to the NIA’s case, the special judge had suggested moving a related money laundering case and Rashid’s regular bail application to the court designated for lawmakers.

Engineer Rashid, an independent Lok Sabha MP from Baramulla, Jammu and Kashmir, recently surrendered at Tihar Jail after his interim bail expired. This is related to the Jammu and Kashmir terror-funding case currently being investigated by the NIA. In August 2019, Rashid was arrested under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).

During his incarceration, he filed his nomination for the 2024 parliamentary elections from jail and won by a margin of 204,000 votes, defeating former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah. In 2022, the NIA Court of Patiala House Court ordered the framing of charges against Rashid and several other key figures, including Hafiz Saeed, Syed Salahuddin, Yasin Malik, Shabbir Shah, Masrat Alam, Zahoor Ahmed Watali, Bitta Karate, Aftab Ahmed Shah, Avtar Ahmed Shah, Naeem Khan, and Bashir Ahmed Butt (also known as Peer Saifullah).

The charges are part of an ongoing investigation into terror funding in Jammu and Kashmir, where the National Investigation Agency (NIA) alleges that various militant organizations, such as Lashkar-e-Taiba, Hizbul Mujahideen, Jaish-e-Mohammed, and JKLF, collaborated with Pakistan’s intelligence agency, ISI, to orchestrate attacks on civilians and security forces in the region.

The NIA’s investigation claims that in 1993, the All Party Hurriyat Conference (APHC) was formed to further separatist activities, with funding channeled through hawala and other covert methods. Hafiz Saeed, along with Hurriyat leaders, is accused of using these illicit funds to fuel unrest in Jammu and Kashmir, targeting security forces, inciting violence, burning schools, and damaging public property.

The agency contends that these operations were designed to destabilize the region and promote terrorism under the guise of political resistance. (ANI)
