The Delhi High Court has granted interim bail to Engineer Rashid, allowing him to attend his father's funeral. The court issued the order on Tuesday, with specific conditions to ensure security and compliance.
Bail Conditions
During the interim bail period, Rashid shall always be accompanied by at least two police officials in plainclothes. These officials will remain with him from the beginning of the journey from Tihar Jail until his return from Srinagar. The court emphasized that the police escort is necessary to maintain law and order and to prevent any untoward incidents.
Journey Details
The journey will commence from Tihar Jail, where Rashid is currently lodged. He will be transported to Srinagar under police supervision. The entire process, including the funeral and return, will be monitored by the authorities. The court also directed that Rashid must not engage in any public activities or make any statements during the bail period.
The Delhi High Court's decision comes after a plea was filed by Rashid's family seeking permission to attend the funeral. The court considered the humanitarian aspect of the case and granted the relief, subject to strict conditions.
Engineer Rashid is a prominent political figure and has been in judicial custody in connection with a case. The interim bail is valid only for the duration required to attend the funeral and return to Tihar Jail.
