The judge had also put various conditions on the accused, including directions to not influence the witnesses or the probe.
On July 5, the court had granted Rashid custody parole to take the oath of office after he won the Lok Sabha elections.
Rashid has been in jail since 2019 after he was arrested by the NIA under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) in the 2017 terror funding case.

Rashid’s name cropped up during the investigation of Kashmiri businessman Zahoor Watali, who was arrested by the NIA for allegedly funding terrorist groups and separatists in the Kashmir valley.
The NIA had filed a charge sheet against several people, including Kashmiri separatist leader Yasin Malik, Lashkar-e-Taiba founder Hafiz Saeed and Hizbul Mujahideen chief Syed Salahuddin, in the case.
Malik was sentenced to life imprisonment by a trial court in 2022 after he pleaded guilty to the charges.–(PTI)
