Delhi court grants custody parole to MP Engineer Rashid to attend Parliament
A Delhi court on Tuesday granted custody parole to jailed Lok Sabha MP Engineer Rashid from July 24 to August 4 to attend the Monsoon Session of Parliament. On the other hand, his interim bail plea was rejected. Rashid had argued in court that he should either be granted interim bail or permission to attend Parliament in custody, without payment of travel costs, as he was seeking to attend Parliament as his public duty and not for personal work. Additional Sessions Judge Chander Jit Singh, however, imposed travel costs on him. Rashid's lawyers are likely to challenge the order in Delhi High Court. Rashid had defeated National Conference leader Omar Abdullah in Baramulla by 2 lakh plus votes in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. He has been lodged in Tihar jail since 2019 in an eight-year-old terror funding case. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested Rashid on August 9, 2019, four days after the abrogation of Article 370 and the removal of Jammu and Kashmir's special status. The NIA's case is that Rashid used various public platforms to 'propagate the ideology of separatism and secessionism', and was closely associated with various terrorist organisations. The agency had also alleged that he wanted to 'legitimise' the United Jihad Council (UJC), a platform of anti-India militant groups in J-K. Charges were framed against Rashid in March 2022 under sections 120B (criminal conspiracy), 121 (waging war against the government), and 124A (sedition) of the Indian Penal Code and for offences relating to terrorist acts and terror funding under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). However, Rashid has maintained that the NIA has only produced an old Facebook post and statements of two protected witnesses to implicate him. He has also argued that he has already been discharged under sections 20, 38, and 39 of the UAPA, which pertain to being part of a terrorist organisation and lending support to it.

HC seeks ED reply on Aslam Wani's plea to quash money laundering case
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday sought Enforcement Directorate's (ED) response on a plea of Mohammad Aslam Wani, an alleged hawala dealer, seeking quashing of a money laundering case against him. Justice Sanjeev Narula issued notice to the ED for its response and posted the hearing on September 26. Wani sought quashing of the PMLA case arguing a 2010 trial court judgement clearing him of terror funding charges in a 2005 case, based on which the money laundering case was lodged in 2007. He said the verdict was upheld by the Delhi High Court in October 2017. Advocate M S Khan said his client Wani was cleared of all offences except under the Arms Act for possessing arms. "Consequently, the allegations by the prosecution regarding the generation of proceeds of crime from criminal activities related to the scheduled offence do not hold water. This perfectly aligns with the legal principle that if the underlying scheduled offence does not stand, the related proceedings under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) also falls flat," Khan said. He said Wani was aggrieved by the prolonged duration of the trial without any progress. Charges against Wani and co-accused Shabir Shah, Kashmiri Separatist leader, were framed in January 2017, however, despite passage of nearly seven years, only 4 out of 33 witnesses have been examined, Khan added. Wani was arrested from Srinagar on July 26, 2017, in the money laundering case. Shah was arrested by the agency from Srinagar on 26 July, 2017. The ED action against the two was in relation to a August 2005 case, in which Delhi Police's Special Cell had arrested Wani, a dealer who had claimed that he passed on Rs 2.25 crore to Shah. In 2010, a Delhi court cleared Wani of terror funding charges but had convicted him under the Arms Act. The ED registered a criminal case under PMLA against Shah and Wani. Wani was arrested allegedly with Rs 63 lakh, received through "hawala" channels from the Middle East, and a large cache of ammunition, on August 26, 2005. He allegedly told the police that Rs 50 lakh was to be delivered to Shah and Rs 10 lakh to Jaish-e- Mohammad area commander in Srinagar, Abu Baqar, and that the rest was his commission. Wani, who hails from Srinagar, also claimed delivering around Rs 2.25 crore to Shah and his kin in multiple instalments.
