New Delhi, March 28 A Delhi court granted bail to Kashmiri separatist leader Shabir Shah in a money laundering case linked to terror funding on Saturday.
Special Judge Prashant Sharma granted the relief to Shah. The court's order is awaited.
On March 12, the Supreme Court had granted bail to Shah in a terror funding case, in which he was arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on June 4, 2019.
On September 4 last year, the apex court refused to grant interim bail to Shah in the case and issued a notice to the NIA, seeking its response to his plea challenging a Delhi High Court order dated June 12, 2025, that denied him relief.
The high court refused to grant bail to Shah, noting that the possibility of his carrying out similar unlawful activities and influencing witnesses could not be ruled out.
In 2017, the NIA had booked 12 people on allegations of conspiracy for raising funds to disrupt peace by way of pelting stones, damaging public property, and conspiring to wage war against the Central government.
Shah was allegedly involved in "substantially facilitating" a separatist movement in Jammu and Kashmir by inciting the public to raise slogans in support of J-K's secession, paying tributes to the families of slain terrorists by eulogizing them as "martyrs", receiving money through hawala transactions, and raising funds via cross-LoC trade, which were allegedly used to fuel subversive and militant activities.
