The Delhi High Court is currently assessing a request for interim bail submitted by jailed Jammu and Kashmir MP Rashid Engineer. This plea is intended to allow him to attend the upcoming sessions of Parliament, as he remains embroiled in a terror-funding case.
Representatives argue that Rashid's prolonged absence would negatively impact the representation of his constituency during critical budget discussions. However, the National Investigation Agency, which is overseeing the case, has expressed its opposition to the bail request.
