Srinagar: In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), the High Court has quashed the detention of a Baramulla resident under the draconian Public Safety Act (PSA) and ordered his release, observing that the detention order was based on weak grounds.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, a single-judge bench comprising Justice Moksha Khajuria Kazmi quashed the PSA detention of 49-year-old Tariq Ahmad, a resident of Kralpora area of Baramulla district. The court passed the order on September 3 on a habeas corpus petition filed by Ahmad\u2019s sister.<\/p>\n

IIOJK High Court quashes PSA detention orders of three Kashmiris<\/a><\/p>\n

The petition challenged the detention order dated April 12, 2024, issued by the District Magistrate, Baramulla, under which Ahmad was placed under preventive detention.<\/p>\n

The petition contended that Ahmad had been detained on vague, irrelevant and non-existing grounds and had not been furnished all the material relied upon by the detaining authority while passing the detention order.<\/p>\n

The High Court, after examining the matter, found that the grounds relied upon for Ahmad\u2019s detention were weak and could not sustain the preventive detention order.<\/p>\n

Quashing the detention order, the court directed the authorities to release Tariq Ahmad forthwith if he was not required in connection with any other case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
