On Tuesday, December 23, 2025, a special NIA court in Budgam, Jammu and Kashmir, ordered the attachment of more than 1.5 kanals of land belonging to Ghulam Nabi Shah, also known as Dr Fai, a US-based Kashmiri lobbyist. The court passed the order after Assistant Public Prosecutor Mohammad Iqbal Rather filed an application under Section 83 of the Criminal Procedure Code to attach Fai's property. The court noted that Dr Fai was already declared an absconder in a 2020 case registered under various sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). Judge Yahaya Firdous ordered, "... this court directs collector Budgam to attach the immovable property of land measuring one kanal and two marlas under Khewat No 60, survey No 466 in village Wadwan and land measuring 11 marlas under Khewat No 136, Survey No 343 situated at village Chattabugh (belonging to Fai) and take possession forthwith." The court further directed the district collector to work with revenue authorities to identify and mark the property before attachment. It also ordered the Budgam Senior Superintendent of Police to provide support to the collector if needed during the attachment process.
