People’s Democratic Party leader Waheed-ur-Rehman Para was Tuesday granted permission to travel within the country by the Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh High Court.
A bench of Justices Vinod Chatterji Koul and Sanjeev Kumar modified an earlier bail condition and said Para may travel within the country after informing the trial court of his location and purpose of visit. The order came on an application filed by Para seeking relaxation in the restrictions imposed on him in 2022.
Para was granted bail by a division bench in May 2022 on a surety of Rs One lakh with directions that he present himself before the investigating officer when required, surrender his passport and not leave Jammu and Kashmir without prior permission of the trial court.
In its order, the court said it was appropriate to modify the travel condition in the interest of justice. It ruled that Para would now be allowed to leave Jammu and Kashmir and move within the country after informing the trial court.
