New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday sought response from the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Kashmiri separatist leader Shabir Ahmed Shah’s plea challenging the Delhi High Court order denying him bail in a terror funding case.
A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta, however, refused to grant him interim bail.
Senior advocate Colin Gonsalves, appearing for Shah, sought interim bail, saying that the petitioner was “very sick”.
