The application is scheduled to hear by Special Judge Dharmender Rana on Thursday.
Advocate M S Khan, counsel for Singh, said in the bail application that the accused persons should be granted bail since the charge sheet was not filed within requisite 90 days period, as prescribed under the law, nor was any permission was sought by the court to extend the 90 days.
The advocate also said in the application that the accused are not required further custodial interrogation and that no purpose will be served by keeping his clients in further custody.
The application stated that Singh and Mir were arrested on March 14 and 19 respectively and are no longer required by the police for investigation.
The accused are wrongly and falsely implicated in the case. There is no material/ evidence to show the existence of any conspiracy to commit any act with the intent to threaten or likely to threaten the unity, integrity, security or sovereignty of India and there is also no material to substantiate that the accused had the intention or conspired to carry out terror strike, the application said.
The plea also added that the accusations against them are not well-founded nor substantiated by any material and do not give rise to the existence of prima facie case against the accused.
Singh was suspended from the Jammu and Kashmir Police in January this year. The Special Cell had brought him to Delhi from Hira Nagar Jail in Jammu and Kashmir.
