The Delhi High Court granted permission on Tuesday for jailed Member of Parliament Engineer Rashid to visit his sick father at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). The visit occurs under strict police escort due to the current situation surrounding Rashid’s judicial custody.
In a ruling motivated by humanitarian concerns, the High Court directed authorities to ensure adequate measures are in place during both the movement and stay of the MP. The court also specified that the visit must be time-bound and strictly supervised to maintain security protocols.
Engineer Rashid, currently in judicial custody, sought the court’s permission to meet his father, who is critically ill and receiving treatment at AIIMS. His legal team presented a heartfelt plea, stressing the gravity of his father’s health condition and requesting temporary relief to facilitate this important family visit.
The High Court took into account the urgent circumstances detailed in Rashid’s plea. It approved the request on humanitarian grounds while emphasizing the need for rigorous adherence to security protocols throughout the visit. This move underscores the court’s recognition of the emotional and psychological needs of individuals, even amid legal struggles.
Further discussions regarding the specifics of the duration and procedures governing this visit will take place among the relevant authorities. This decision highlights the delicate balance between security concerns and familial support during challenging times.
