HC to examine MP Rashid's bail plea to attend LS

NEW DELHI: Delhi HC Tuesday said it would examine on July 31 jailed Lok Sabha MP Abdul Rashid Sheikh 's plea seeking interim bail to attend Parliament's Monsoon session . A bench of justices Vivek Chaudhary and Mini Pushkarna also indicated that it was inclined to send the plea before another bench, which had originally allowed him the relief. The latest petition challenges a trial court order asking him to bear travel expenses of Rs 1.44 lakh per day for attending Parliament while in custody. Justice Chaudhary was of the view that the plea moved by Rashid, popularly known as Engineer Rashid , seeking waiver of the travel expenses should be heard by the bench that previously heard a similar plea by him during the Budget session. tnn
