New Delhi: The Delhi High Court today sought response from NIA on a bail application filed by Wasim Akram Malik, facing trial for his alleged role in the September 2011 High Court blast here.
A bench of Justices P K Bhasin and V P Vaish, while issuing notice to National Investigation Agency (NIA), directed the agency to submit their reply by January 22, next year.
Malik has sought setting aside of the trial court order dismissing his bail application in September this year.
“The appellant/accused (Malik) seeks setting aside of the impugned order dated September 26, 2013, wherein Special Court NIA has unjustifiably and erroneously without appreciating the law as prescribed by the enactment Unlawful Activities Prevention Act as well as CrPC more particularly 173 (5) and laid down by the Supreme Court through numerous case laws, has dismissed the application of statutory bail under section 167 (2) CrPC as filed by the appellant,” his counsel Mehmood Pracha argued.
