Court adjourns Er Rashid’s plea seeking custody parole to attend Parliament

New Delhi, Mar 7: A Delhi court on Friday deferred for a week the order on the plea of jailed Jammu and Kashmir MP Engineer Rashid for custody parole to attend the upcoming Parliament session.

Rashid's lawyer Vikhyat Oberoi said the court would pass the order on March 10.

Additional sessions judge Chander Jit Singh had reserved the order on Rashid’s plea on March 5.

The application, filed on February 27, sought the relief on the grounds that Rashid was a parliamentarian and needed to attend the upcoming session to fulfil his public duty.

Sheikh Abdul Rashid, popularly known as Engineer Rashid, defeated Chief Minister Omar Abdullah in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls in Baramulla.

Rashid's regular bail application is currently pending before the court.

The second part of Parliament's budget session would begin on March 10 and end on April 4.
