The plea by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has been listed for hearing on May 29 before a bench of Justices Siddharth Mridul and Talwant Singh.
The NIA Friday approached the Delhi High Court seeking death penalty for terrorist Yasin Malik, who was sentenced a life term by a trial court here in a terror funding case a year ago, asserting not giving capital punishment to such a "dreaded terrorist" will result in a miscarriage of justice.
The plea by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has been listed for hearing on May 29 before a bench of Justices Siddharth Mridul and Talwant Singh.
On May 24, 2022, a trial court in the national capital awarded life imprisonment to Malik, the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chief, after holding him guilty of various offences under the stringent anti-terror law-Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA)- and the IPC.
Yasin Malik had pleaded guilty to the charges, including those under the UAPA.
