Hany Babu was arrested in July 2020 in the case and is currently lodged at the Taloja prison in neighbouring Navi Mumbai. He approached the HC in June this year, challenging an order of the special NIA court here which rejected his bail plea earlier this year.
Hearing an appeal filed by Babu, challenging the order of the special court, a division bench of Justices Nitin Jamdar and NR Borkar on Monday also observed that Babu was “an active member” of the organisation.
The argument was made before the Bombay High Court, which is hearing a bail plea filed by Sharma. He has approached the HC, challenging the special court order rejecting his bail in February 2022.
