Hurriyat Conference leader Nayeem Khan was arrested on July 24, 2017 and is currently in judicial custody.
The Delhi High Court on Thursday sought response of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on a plea by separatist leader Nayeem Ahmad Khan seeking bail in a terror-funding case involving 26/11 Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed.
A bench of Justice Siddharth Mridul and Justice Talwant Singh issued notice to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and asked it to file reply to the petition challenging a trial court's order denying bail to the accused.
The high court listed the matter for further hearing on March 23.
Nayeem Khan has challenged the trial court's December 3, 2022 order dismissing his bail plea saying that there was prima facie evidence available against the accused.
