The Delhi High Court on Wednesday (October 14, 2026) called for a report from the jail authorities on the non-appearance of separatist leader Yasin Malik from prison in a terror funding case.

A Bench of Justices Navin Chawla and Arun Bhardwaj noted that Mr. Malik was to be produced before the court virtually.

“Respondent (Malik) had to be produced virtually before us. However, it is not done. Let a report in this regard be called from the jail superintendent concerned,” the Bench said.
