Controversies
In 2014, Mir was convicted by a special CBI court in Delhi for wrongfully releasing of ₹30 lakh and the awarding of a contract for the sale of urea fertilizer to his firm by National Fertilizers Limited (NFL) between 1993 and 1996. NFL suffered a financial loss due to the irregularities, and imposed a fine of ₹3.21 crore on Mir, with ₹3.19 crore to be paid as compensation to NFL.[1] Although Mir was granted bail and his sentence was suspended until January 2015, the conviction disqualified him from contesting the upcoming elections.[4]
