A Delhi Court has ordered the release of Kashmiri separatist leader Shabir Ahmad Shah in a money laundering case linked to terror funding. The order was passed by Additional Sessions Judge Dheeraj Mor of Patiala House Courts, who noted that Shah had already served the maximum sentence of seven years as prescribed under Section 3 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
Shah has been in continuous custody since July 26, 2017, with the court acknowledging that over seven years had elapsed since his detention.
This development marks a significant moment in the case, as Shah’s prolonged incarceration had been closely watched by observers and supporters alike. The decision to release him is based on the legal parameters of the PMLA, with the court recognizing that the time Shah had already spent in custody exceeded the statutory sentence for the offense.
