Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) founder Yasin Malik, who is lodged in Tihar Prisons, is likely to appear before a Special TADA Court in-person for the cross-examination of persecution witnesses in two cases \u2013 the killing of four Indian Air Force (IAF) officers and the abduction of Rubaiyya Sayeed.
\nThe IAF officials\u2019 case will be listed before the Jammu special court on October 19, and the Rubaiyya Sayeed case on October 20.
\nAdditional advocate general Monika Kohli, who is the public prosecutor in the two high-profile cases, said, \u201cAfter Malik sought physical appearance before the Special TADA Court, it issued production warrants to Tihar Prison authorities directing them to produce him in court in connection to the two cases in Jammu.\u201d
\n\u201cWhether he is produced before court is yet to be seen. So far, we do not have any intimation from the prison authorities in Tihar. The court will start hearing cases from 10 am or 10.30 am,\u201d added Kohli.
\nOn September 21, a special TADA Court had issued production warrants to ensure physical presence of Malik before the court on October 19 and 20 to cross-examine prosecution witnesses and Rubaiyya Sayeed.
\n56-year-old Sayeed, who had been kidnapped in December 1989 to secure the release of five militants, had identified Malik and three others in the abduction case. However, on August 23, a special TADA Court had issued bailable warrants against Sayeed after she had failed to appear before court in-person.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
