New Delhi- The Supreme Court on Wednesday asked the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to furnish details relating to the custody of Kashmiri separatist leader Shabir Ahmed Shah - accused in a terror funding case - in other criminal cases against him.

A bench of Justices Vikram Nath, Sandeep Mehta and N V Anjaria said that, probably, there were 24 cases against Shah.

The bench was hearing Shah's plea challenging the Delhi High Court's June 12 order denying him bail in the terror funding case.

The counsel appearing for the NIA said the top court had on September 4 issued a notice on Shah's plea and the agency needed some time to file its counter affidavit.

The bench granted four weeks to the NIA to file its affidavit.

“Please provide us the status of custody in other cases also. He is facing trial in probably 24 cases,” the bench said.
