Newly elected Lok Sabha MP from north Kashmir, Sheikh Abdul Rashid, arrested in connection with a 2017 Jammu and Kashmir terror funding case, failed to secure interim bail as a special court adjourned the matter until July 1.

The court directed the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to file a response to Rashid's plea and update the court on when he could take the oath of office as an MP.

Rashid's counsel argued for custody parole to facilitate his oath-taking, citing a similar recent order for AAP leader Sanjay Singh. The court, however, noted the differing severity of charges between Rashid and Sanjay Singh's cases.
