Delhi HC seeks NIA's response on Engineer Rashid's plea seeking waiver of travel cost for attending Parliament
The Delhi High Court Friday sought the National Investigation Agency (NIA)'s response on the plea filed by Baramulla MP Abdul Rashid Sheikh, also known as Engineer Rashid, challenging the costs imposed by a trial court as part of his custody parole conditions to attend Parliament. Rashid, who is an Independent Lok Sabha MP, also sought interim bail. On Tuesday, a Delhi court granted custody parole to Rashid from July 24 to August 4 to attend the Monsoon Session of Parliament, but rejected his interim bail plea. Rashid urged the trial court to either grant interim bail or permission to attend Parliament in custody, without payment of travel costs, as he was seeking to attend the session as part of his public duty and not for personal work. Additional Sessions Judge Chander Jit Singh, however, imposed travel costs on him. Challenging the trial court's order, Senior Advocate N Hariharan told a bench of Justices Vivek Chaudhary and Shalinder Kaur Friday that despite the custody parole, Rashid was losing each day of the relief as he had not been able to attend the session due to the huge costs. Hariharan also submitted that Rashid has been 'saddled' with a cost of Rs 17 lakh to 'represent the public at large.' The bench posted the matter for further consideration on July 29, and issued notice to NIA. On the same day, the high court is also due to consider a plea by Rashid seeking regular bail after a trial court rejected the request on March 21. In March, while allowing Rashid to attend Parliament during the Budget session, the Delhi High Court imposed the condition that the lawmaker would bear the expense for his travel to Parliament while in the court's custody, accompanied by the police, and other arrangements. The jail authorities had estimated a daily cost of approximately Rs 1.45 lakh for travel and related arrangements, totalling Rs 8.74 lakh for Rashid to attend six days of Parliament. At the time, he had challenged the condition that required him to bear the costs before the HC. Subsequently, he had submitted that he is ready to deposit 50 per cent of the cost of over Rs 8.74 lakh for the police escort arrangement to attend Parliament. Recording Rashid's submission, the Delhi HC had directed that he would be allowed to attend Parliament after depositing the amount. Lodged in Delhi's Tihar Jail since 2019 in a case of alleged terror funding, he was arrested under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. According to NIA, he used various public platforms to 'propagate the ideology of separatism and secessionism', was closely associated with various terrorist organisations, and wanted to 'legitimise' the United Jihad Council, a platform of anti-India militant groups in Jammu and Kashmir. On May 30, 2017, NIA registered a case under Indian Penal Code Section 120B (criminal conspiracy) and various sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 (UAPA) against Lashkar-e-Taiba founder Hafiz Saeed and other 'secessionist and separatist' leaders, including Rashid. NIA claimed they 'received and collected' funds through hawala channels in 'connivance with active militants of…terrorist organizations Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, Dukhtaran-e-Millat, Lashkar-e-Toiba' to fund 'terrorist activities' in Jammu and Kashmir.

Syngene International share price gains 2% despite weak Indian stock markets: Should you buy or sell the stock?
Stock Market Today: Syngene International gained more than 2% in the intraday trades on Friday despite weak Indian stock markets. Should you buy or sell? Syngene International had reported Q1 results on Wednesday. The Q1 performance marked a decent start to the new financial year 2026. The adjusted reported net profit at ₹ 87 crore increased 59% year-on-year compared to ₹ 54 crore in the year-ago quarter (excluding the exceptional item of ₹ 21 crore (net of tax) in Q1 FY25 relating to the final settlement from an insurance claim). The revenue from operations was up 11% year-on-year to Rs. 875 crore, while the reported EBITDA was up by 19% year-on-year, with the reported EBITDA margin at 25%. Peter Bains, Managing Director and CEO of Syngene International, said that he expects the momentum to continue and expects to meet the annual guidance. The primary driver of this momentum was the continued conversion of pilot programs into longer-term contracts within the Research Services division, as per Bains. In our Biologics manufacturing division, the Unit III facility in Bengaluru has received the USFDA clearance, while the Bayview facility in the U.S. is expected to commence operations in the second half of FY26. While Bains said that he remains mindful of ongoing macroeconomic factors, we maintain a confident outlook. The company, being primarily into services, may see a lesser impact of proposed tariffs. Jefferies India Pvt Ltd, after Q1 results, has said that Syngene's 1QFY26 earnings beat their estimates as inventory adjustment is set to kick in from the second or third quarter. The start of the US biologics facility in the second half, as per Jefferies, is to keep margins under check. Further management as per Jefferies has reiterated FY26 guidance despite the strong Q1, indicating near-term headwinds. Further In the past few quarters, Syngene has made senior hires at overseas pharma hubs to strengthen its business development efforts; however, Jefferies expects benefits to be realized only from FY27/28. After a sharp 37.5% decline over 103 days, Syngene has been consolidating in a tight box for the past 66 sessions, signaling a pause before its next move. The current session is showing strong momentum and could be a precursor to a breakout, said ANSHUL JAIN, Head of Research at LAKSHMISHREE A sustained move above 690 will confirm the breakout and likely lead to a sharp bounce. The immediate target lies near the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the previous fall, placed around 775. Traders should watch for volume confirmation to ride the breakout with conviction, said Jain Disclaimer: The views and recommendations made above are those of individual analysts or brokerage companies and not of Mint.
