A Delhi court has sought response from the Enforcement Directorate on the bail plea of separatist leader Shabir Shah, arrested in a decade-old money laundering case.
The application was moved before Additional Sessions Judge Satish Kumar Arora on the ground of parity after the Delhi High Court recently granted bail to co-accused Mohammad Aslam Wani in the case.
The court has directed ED’s Special Public Prosecutor N K Matta to file a reply to Shah’s application by February 23, when the court will hear the matter.
The application submitted that the accused was wrongly and falsely implicated in the case.
Shah is in judicial custody and lodged in Tihar central jail, Delhi.
