The Delhi High Court dismissed appeals filed by Masarat Alam, Shabir Shah and others against the order framing charges in a J&K terror funding case under UAPA. The Court held such appeals are barred under Section 21 of the NIA Act as they challenge interlocutory orders.
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.
