Baramulla MP Engineer Rashid, despite a significant electoral victory, faces legal obstacles preventing him from assuming office. The interim bail plea hearing was postponed, delaying his oath as a Member of Parliament. Rashid’s involvement in a terror funding case has led to his imprisonment in Tihar jail since 2017. The court is yet to approve his release for parliamentary duties.
Today(on 10th June),The Patiala House Court in Delhi has set June 18, 2024, for the plea hearing of a Baramulla MP seeking interim bail to take his parliamentary oath. Despite being in custody for a terror funding case, the MP won elections and seeks temporary release to fulfill his constitutional duties. This case raises broader implications for MPs’ rights and duties under custody.
