The Delhi High Court on Tuesday reserved an order on the Baramulla MP Engineer Rashid's plea seeking permission to attend the ongoing Parliament session in custody. He sought permission to attend the parliament session in custody.

A division bench of justices Chandra Dhari Singh and Anup Jairam Bhambhani reserved the order after hearing the submissions of counsel for Engineer Rashid and the National Investigation Agency (NIA).

The bench said, "We will pass an order."

Senior advocate N Hariharan and advocate Vikhyat Oberoi appeared for Abdul Rashid Sheikh (also known as Engineer Rashid) and argued that I am asking for permission to attend Parliament Session.

"Earlier I (Engineer Rashid) was granted custody parole by the single judge bench," the counsel argued.

The NIA opposed the plea and submitted that there were serious charges against the petitioner.

Senior advocates argued that serious conditions can be imposed. NIA said that once you enter the parliament court conditions would not apply. What happens if he makes a speech there, NIA asked.
