Delhi HC Refuses to Stay Bail of Parvez, Mehraj
The Delhi High Court decided not to stop the release of two men, Khurram Parvez and Irfan Mehraj, who were granted bail by a lower court.
These men are involved in a case about terror funding in Kashmir.
The High Court said the charges are very serious, but since the lower court set strict rules for their release, they won't stop it.
The case will be heard again in August.
Parvez is a well-known human rights activist, and Mehraj is a journalist.
They were accused of helping with terror activities through NGOs in Kashmir.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is against their release, but the courts have allowed it for now.
