NEW DELHI, Jan 7: The Supreme Court on Wednesday said it would hear on January 13 the bail plea of Kashmiri separatist leader Shabir Ahmed Shah in a terror funding case.
The plea came up for hearing before a bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta while senior advocate Colin Gonsalves appeared for Shah in the matter.

As Gonsalves started his submissions, senior advocate Sidharth Luthra, representing the National Investigation Agency (NIA), said he had some difficulty due to personal exigency.
Luthra said Gonsalves was likely to take some time to argue the matter and could advance his submissions.
The bench observed that it would hear the matter next week.
“We are also in some difficulty today because we have limited time,” the bench observed.
It posted the matter for hearing on January 13.
Shah has challenged the Delhi High Court’s June 12 last year order denying him bail in the case. (PTI)
