Shabbir Shah Released By Patiala House Court In Money Laundering Case After 7 Years In Jail, But Remains In Custody For Other Charges

Kashmiri separatist leader Shabbir Ahmed Shah has received significant relief from the Patiala House Court, as the court has ordered his release in one of the three cases against him. However, Shah will remain in custody due to other pending cases. Additional Sessions Judge Dheeraj More of the Patiala House Court ruled in favor of Shah’s release in a money laundering case linked to terrorism financing. The judge noted that Shah has been in continuous custody since July 26, 2017, and the maximum sentence for money laundering under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) is seven years. Given that Shah has already served more than seven years in jail, the judge declared that he is entitled to release in this specific case. Nonetheless, Shah remains incarcerated due to two other cases filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
