The decision allows Rashid to leave Delhi's Tihar Jail and visit specific locations in Srinagar for burial ceremonies, accompanied by plainclothes police officers.
The bench of Justices Prathiba M Singh and Madhu Jain mandated Rashid's movements be monitored closely during his bail period, ending June 2. His travels are restricted to his residence and burial grounds, with interactions limited to immediate family members only and under police supervision.
