Delhi court extends MP Er Rashid's interim bail to Oct 28

Srinagar, Oct 15: A Delhi court on Tuesday extended the bail period of Member Parliament and AIP chief Sheikh Rashid or Engineer Rashid citing his father's health.

Rashid was jailed in New Delhi's Tihar Jail in a case related to alleged terror funding.

"The Court extended the interim bail of Rashid Engineer on the grounds of his father’s medical ground," reports said.

Additional Sessions Judge Chander Jit Singh passed the order on the ground of the health condition of Rashid’s father, after the National Investigation Agency (NIA) said it had verified the documents and was not opposing the application.

The judge also deferred the order on Rashid’s regular bail plea in the case till October 28.

The counsel for the accused told the court that this was the last time that his client was seeking an extension.

No violation of any of the conditions by his client was alleged by the NIA, the lawyer said.
