Delhi High Court Denies Bail to Kashmiri Separatist Leader Shabir Ahmad Shah

  • The Delhi High Court dismissed Kashmiri separatist leader Shabir Ahmad Shah’s bail plea in a terror funding case on June 12, 2025, in Delhi.
  • Shah filed an appeal against the denial of his bail request by the lower court in its decision dated July 7, 2023, after being held in custody for more than four years in a 2017 NIA case related to a conspiracy to raise funds for unrest.
  • The appeal was dismissed by the Delhi High Court judges Navin Chawla and Shalinder Kaur, who highlighted that the case involves charges related to waging war and financing militant activities connected to Pakistan.
  • The court stated, "The present appeal is dismissed," and Shah’s counsel argued it was "a no material case," citing only 15 witnesses examined out of over 400 required.
  • The dismissal affirms denial of bail amid serious charges and ongoing investigations by the NIA and ED into terror financing and alleged links to banned outfits.
