Delhi HC seeks Yasin Malik's reply in 4 wks on NIA's plea for death penalty

NEW DELHI: Delhi HC Monday asked Kashmiri separatist Yasin Malik to respond within four weeks to a National Investigation Agency plea seeking death penalty for him in a terror funding case.

The Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chief, who previously sought to argue his case against NIA's plea to enhance his life imprisonment to death, was supposed to appear virtually from Tihar Jail, but he wasn't produced.

A bench of justices Vivek Chaudhary and Shalinder Kaur noted that Malik also didn't file a reply to the NIA's plea and directed the jail authorities to produce him virtually on the next hearing on Nov 10.
