Delhi HC Hears Plea on Rashid's Custody Parole Expenses
Engineer Rashid, a member of Parliament, is in jail but allowed to attend Parliament meetings.
The court initially ordered him to pay for his travel and security.
Rashid is now asking the court to change this, arguing he can't properly represent his district if he has to pay.
The court is debating whether this is just a minor change or a complete re-evaluation of the original order.
The hearing is set for August 12.
