Delhi court denies bail for Jammu and Kashmir MP Rashid Engineer in terror-funding case, jurisdiction issue pending.
A Delhi court on Tuesday (December 24, 2024) refused to pass order on Jammu and Kashmir MP Rashid Engineer's regular bail application in a terror-funding case.
Additional sessions judge (ASJ) Chander Jit Singh dismissed the application filed by the accused seeking to pronounce order on the bail application.
The judge said at the present stage he could only decide the miscellaneous application and not the regular bail plea.
On December 19, the district judge sent the case back to the court hearing the matter.
The ASJ court had requested the district judge to transfer the case to a court designated to try lawmakers observing Rashid was now an MP.
The district judge sent the matter back to the ASJ by the consent of all accused persons and the prosecuting agency, the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
The district judge passed the order after being informed the matter related to the jurisdiction of the court is currently pending before the Delhi High Court.

“Through several targeted attacks against the minorities in the name of religion, the BJP and the Sangh Parivar organisations are on a mission to fragment the State into religious segments,” said Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) leader and MP Thol. Thirumavalavan. He headed the protest organised by VCK here on Monday against the BJP and Sangh Parivar organisation for inciting violence based on religion. Speaking there, he said, “The RSS’s plan is specifically to turn Hindus into paupers and the Sangh Parivar organisations through intimidating the minorities, have been trying to incite communal frenzy in the State.”
