Delhi Court Grants Permission To Engineer Rashid To Vote In Vice-Presidential Election Latest News:
The Patiala House Court in Delhi has permitted Engineer Rashid to visit the Parliament in custody to cast his vote in the upcoming Vice-Presidential election on September 9, the Hindustan Times reported, citing an order dated September 4.

As per the order delivered on Saturday, Rashid will not be required to make any immediate payment towards travel expenses, the report said. However, he must furnish an undertaking to bear the cost later, which the report said is subject to the outcome of appeals currently reserved for orders by the Delhi High Court.

Advocate Vikhyat Oberoi appeared on Rashid's behalf during the proceedings. The Vice-Presidential election must be done in person, and therefore, Rashid had moved the Special NIA Court at Patiala House seeking permission to cast his vote despite being lodged in Tihar Jail.

Rashid's party, the Awami Ittehad Party (AIP) on Saturday welcomed the order of the Patiala House Court permitting Engineer Rashid to cast his vote in the upcoming Vice-Presidential elections.
