Shah, in this case, has been accused of raising funds through the illegal channels of hawala and cross-border trade across the LoC in order to fund the raising of a separatist movement in the Valley.
According to officials, he was allegedly involved in raising funds for terror acts.
A bench of Justice Vikram Nath and Justice Sandeep Mehta, while hearing Shah’s appeal against the Delhi High Court’s June 12 order, issued notice to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and sought its response within two weeks.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) was on Monday conducting raids at six locations in Jammu and Kashmir in connection with a terror funding case, sources told IANS.
Zahoor Ahmad Shah Watali moves Delhi High Court against charges framed by the trial court against him in a terror financing case .
Meanwhile, the State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) on Wednesday issued notices to the Jammu and Kashmir government on the detention of Malik by the NIA.
The NIA on Monday questioned Farooq for nearly eight hours at its headquarters in Delhi after he appeared before the agency after avoiding two earlier summons.
During the probe, it emerged that the Imam of the mosque, Mohammad Salman, was in regular touch with a Dubai-based Pakistani national and had received Rs 70 Lakh from the person.
A counsel appearing for Watali said he was 75-years-old and has been in jail for months and there were no grounds for the NIA to make a case against him.
Watali had challenged the trial court's June 8 order rejecting his bail plea. The High Court set aside the trial court's June 8 order.
