Justice Vikas Mahajan deferred the hearing after he was informed by the counsel for the High Court administration that the Supreme Court on Monday clarified that the NIA court dealing with the case could hear the bail plea.
Rashid had moved the High Court earlier, alleging he did not have a remedy after the NIA court dealing with his bail application left him in a limbo after his election to the Lok Sabha last year on account of it not being a special MP/MLA court.
As an interim relief, Rashid was on Monday allowed two-day custody parole to attend the ongoing Parliament session on February 11 and 13.
In view of the development in the top court, Justice Mahajan on Tuesday orally asked Rashid's lawyer to approach the NIA court for bail.
The MP's counsel, however, urged the court to adjourn the matter for a week.
