The Delhi High Court on Friday asked the National Investigating Agency (NIA) to respond to a plea seeking a copy of an FIR registered against alleged members of the banned Popular Front of India (PFI) in a case lodged under the anti-terror law.
Justice Anoop Kumar Mendiratta gave the order on a petition filed by Mohammad Yusuff, arrested from his residence in Chennai on September 22 in a case lodged under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act [UAPA].
In his petition, Mr. Yusuff has sought direction to the NIA to provide him with a copy of the FIR lodged by the agency on April 13 and also to provide a copy of the grounds of the arrest of each accused person in connection with the case. He also sought a copy of the remand applications filed by the NIA before a trial court.
