Justice Jasmeet Singh issued notice on the petition by arrested PFI leader Oma Salam and asked the agency to file its response.
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday sought the stand of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on a plea seeking quashing of its probe against the banned Popular Front of India (PFI) in connection with an alleged criminal conspiracy to carry out terror activities in the country.
Justice Jasmeet Singh issued notice on the petition by arrested PFI leader Oma Salam and asked the agency to file its response.
While the judge remarked during the hearing that "there is no question of stay" in the matter, the counsel for the petitioner said he was "not pressing it" either.
The counsel for the petitioner argued he was assailing the NIA case on "legal grounds" as the probe was not as per the NIA Act.
