The Delhi High Court will hear in January jailed MP Abdul Rashid Sheikh’s plea challenging the travel cost order for attending Parliament. His petition argues that imposing such expenses unfairly limits an elected representative’s ability to perform constitutional duties.
Baramulla MP Abdul Rashid Sheikh, currently an undertrial in a terror funding case, has challenged the government’s demand of Rs.1.4 lakh daily for travel to Parliament. The Delhi High Court previously granted him permission to attend, conditional on covering travel expenses. Rashid argues this condition risks unrepresenting his constituency.
