\n It was suggested that the fees currently requested by the jail authorities are unreasonably high, and the applicant lacks the financial means to cover these costs.\n <\/p>\n

\n Abdul Rashid Sheikh submitted an application via attorney Vikhyat Oberoi, requesting that the High Court modify its Final Order from March 25, 2025, and waive or remove certain conditions.\n <\/p>\n

\n It has been suggested that following the upload of the order on March 26, 2025, during the afternoon, the counsel for
\n Engineer Rashid
\n Received an email from the worried jail officials on March 26, 2025, at 8:21 PM, stating that the appellant needs to pay around INR 1,45,736 per day for travel and associated expenses, amounting to a total of INR 8,74,416 for six days.\n <\/p>\n

\n It is posited that the applicant has been detained since August 9, 2019, and lacks the resources to pay such substantial and unreasonable sums.\n <\/p>\n

\n It is further claimed that the applicant’s family has, despite significant challenges, gathered funds via crowdfunding and covered their expenses for one day, specifically March 27, 2025.\n <\/p>\n
