Delhi Court To Hear Engineer Rashid’s Interim Bail Plea To MP Oath Today
A Delhi court is expected to hear on Saturday, June 22, further arguments on a plea filed by Engineer Rashid, arrested in a 2016 Jammu and Kashmir terror funding case, seeking interim bail to take oath as an MP. Contesting as an independent candidate, Sheikh Abdul Rashid, popularly known as Engineer Rashid, defeated former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah of the National Conference in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls in Baramulla, PTI reported.
Additional Sessions Judge Chander Jit Singh had on Tuesday fixed the matter for hearing on June 22 and directed the NIA to inform the court about the likely date for his oath-taking.
The judge passed the directions after he was informed that the newly elected Lok Sabha MPs would take oath on June 24, 25, and 26.
Rashid has moved the court seeking interim bail, or custody parole in the alternative, to take the oath and perform his parliamentary functions.
Engineer Rashid has been in jail since 2019 after he was charged by the NIA under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in the alleged terror funding case. He is at present lodged in Tihar jail.
