The Delhi High Court asked the NIA to consider imposing a geographical restriction instead of opposing bail for Baramulla MP Engineer Rashid in the terror funding case. The Court observed that limited movement conditions could be explored, noting he is a sitting Member of Parliament.
On Thursday(18th July), the Supreme Court granted bail to Sheikh Javed Iqbal, a Nepali citizen detained under UAPA for over nine years, citing his right to a speedy trial. Justices J B Pardiwala and Ujjal Bhuyan emphasized that statutory restrictions should not impede fundamental rights, noting the trial’s extremely slow progress.
