Navlaka had earlier filed an application seeking to be shifted from the public library, under the control of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) in Mumbai
The Court directed the petitioner to pay up some amount while directing him to deposit ₹8 lakh to the concerned authority in Maharashtra police before the next date of hearing
The NIA has claimed that Navlakha had visited the USA three times to address “Kashmiri American Council (KAC) Conference” organised by Fai. He was in touch with the ISI agent via e-mail and sometimes via phone. Fai was arrested by the FBI in July 2011 for accepting funds from ISI and the Pakistan government – purportedly for furthering the cause of Kashmiri separatists.
