The court was hearing Rashid’s petition alleging that he had been left without any remedy after the NIA court dealing with his bail application left him in a limbo post his election to the Lok Sabha last year on account of it not being a special MP/MLA court.As interim relief, he prayed for grant of custody parole.Earlier, the NIA opposed Rashid’s plea seeking interim bail to attend the Parliament session and said he had no such “right” as a parliamentarian.In his petition, Rashid has urged the high court to either direct the expeditious disposal of his pending bail plea by the NIA court or decide the matter itself.Rashid has been lodged in Tihar jail here since 2019 after the NIA arrested him under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in the 2017 terror-funding case.
