The Delhi High Court on Monday (August 11, 2025) sought separatist leader Yasin Malik’s response on a plea filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) seeking death penalty for him in a terror funding case.
A Bench of Justices Vivek Chaudhary and Shalinder Kaur granted four weeks to Malik to file his response to the NIA’s petition while posting the hearing for November 10.

Malik, who previously sought to argue in-person against NIA’s plea seeking the enhancement, was supposed to appear virtually from jail but was not produced. The Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front chief (JKLF) is lodged in Tihar jail where he is serving a life term in the case. On Monday, the Bench directed the jail authorities to produce him virtually on November 10.
