Yasin Malik to Defend Himself in Court, Delhi High Court Accepts Plea

Date:

Yasin Malik, the leader of the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), has refused to hire a lawyer and will defend himself in court. Malik has denied all charges brought against him by the Indian National Investigation Agency (NIA).

The Delhi High Court has accepted Malik’s plea to defend himself and has given him time until September 19 to prepare his case. The next hearing is scheduled for September 19 at 3 pm.

Malik, who is currently in Tihar Jail, will present his case himself. This development comes as a surprise, as Malik is not a trained lawyer. However, he has chosen to represent himself in this high-profile case.
