Chandigarh: Lok Sabha, lower house of Indian parliament, member from Khadoor Sahib Amritpal Singh has moved the Punjab and Haryana High Court challenging the legality of the third successive detention order issued against him on April 17 under the draconian National Security Act NSA), saying absence of any credible material linking him with prejudicial activities.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, the petition, filed through counsel Arshdeep Singh Cheema, Imaan Singh Khara and Harjot Singh Mann, claims that the detention is \u201carbitrary, void of jurisdiction and violative of constitutional safeguards\u201d. It submits that Amritpal Singh has remained under detention since April 2023 despite the absence of any supporting material for continued incarceration.<\/p>\n
The case is yet to come up for hearing. An advance copy of the petition has been furnished to the authorities, along with other respondents and counsel, including Additional Solicitor-General of India Satya Pal Jain.<\/p>\n
The plea states the latest detention order rests solely on an FIR registered on October 10, 2024. He contends that his name did not appear in the FIR and his nomination was introduced later through a Digital District Repository (DDR) on October 18, 2024. It relies on the final report filed under Section 173, CrPC, asserting that \u201cthere was not an iota of evidence\u201d against him linking him to the incident alleged in the FIR. The petition claims that despite this, he is continuing to be confined in Central Jail, Dibrugarh.<\/p>\n
The petition rejects the allegation that Amritpal Singh was associated with anti-India elements or was part of any design to physically eliminate individuals. It asserts that such imputations are unsupported by any material.<\/p>\n
The plea says that Amritpal Singh prior to his detention had been engaged social reform initiatives, including youth anti-addiction programmes, campaigns against drug abuse and community-oriented interventions through his organisation Waris Punjab De.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
