Delhi High Court Seeks Jail Report After Yasin Malik Misses Virtual Hearing
The Delhi High Court has sought a report from Tihar jail authorities after separatist leader Yasin Malik failed to appear virtually in a terror funding case hearing. Malik, chief of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front, is serving a life sentence and faces a National Investigation Agency plea seeking to upgrade his sentence to the death penalty. The court scheduled the next hearing for December 9, directing Malik's virtual presence. Jail officials had previously requested virtual appearance due to Malik's high-risk status to avoid physical court production.
