The Delhi High Court on Friday asked the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to respond to Kashmiri businessman Zahoor Ahmad Shah Watali’s plea challenging the rejection of his bail plea by a trial court in a terror funding case.
A Bench of Justice S. Muralidhar and Justice Vinod Goel posted the case for hearing on August 21.
Watali has challenged the trial court’s June 8 order rejecting his bail plea.
Watali, arrested on August 17 last year, was charge-sheeted by NIA on January 18 along with Pakistan-based terrorist leaders Hafiz Saeed, Syed Salahuddin, seven Kashmiri separatist leaders and others in a case of alleged terror funding in Kashmir.
