The Delhi High Court on Tuesday scheduled the hearing of jailed MP Abdul Rashid Sheikh’s bail plea for February 24 in connection with a terror funding case. Rashid, popularly known as Engineer Rashid, had approached the high court, citing the lack of a designated forum to decide on his bail application.

Justice Vikas Mahajan deferred the matter after being informed by the counsel representing the high court administration that the Supreme Court had clarified on Monday that the NIA court handling the case could proceed with hearing the bail plea.
