New Delhi, March 12 (UNI) The Supreme Court on Thursday granted bail to Kashmiri separatist leader Shabir Ahmed Shah in a money laundering case.
A bail plea was filed by Shabir Ahmad Shah, who is currently lodged in jail under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for allegedly building a separatist movement in Jammu and Kashmir, paying tribute to the families of slain terrorists and receiving money through hawala transactions
A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta passed the order after hearing senior advocate Colin Gonsalves for Shah and senior advocate Siddharth Luthra for the NIA.
Earlier in September 2025, the apex court dismissed the bail plea. It had also sought the National Investigation Agency’s (NIA) response on Shah’s plea challenging the Delhi High Court’s order within two weeks.
