New Delhi: A Delhi court on Saturday deferred the hearing on the bail plea of separatist leader Shabir Shah, arrested in a decade-old money laundering case, till April 2. Shah's bail plea came up for hearing before Additional Sessions Judge Satish Kumar Arora. The court had on February 18 sought a response from the Enforcement Directorate on Shah's bail plea.
The application was moved before the court on the ground of parity after the Delhi High Court recently granted bail to co-accused and alleged hawala dealer Mohammad Aslam Wani in the case. The application submitted that the accused was wrongly and falsely implicated in the case, which was registered in 2007 for the alleged offense committed in 2005.
