Delhi court grants bail to Shabbir Shah in false ‘money laundering’ case
New Delhi: Delhi’s Patiala House Court granted bail to All Parties Hurriyat Conference senior leader Shabbir Ahmad Shah in a false ‘money laundering’ case
According to Kashmir Media Service, Shabbir Ahmad Shah, a 74-year-old Kashmiri pro-freedom leader, has been languishing in New Delhi’s Tihar Jail for nearly eight years in fabricated cases under various provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, and the Indian Penal Code.
Special Judge (NIA) Prashant Sharma approved his release on a bail bond of Rs 1 lakh and a surety bond of Rs 1 lakh today.
Advocate M S Khan, representing Shabbir Shah, filed the bail plea and stated that the Supreme Court had already granted bail to him in the NIA case and that the ED’s case was based on the same matter. He added that Shabbir Shah might be released from Tihar Jail after furnishing the bail bonds on Monday.
