High Court quashes detention of youth order under black law

The High Court of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir has quashed the detention under black law Public Safety Act (PSA) of a youth, Abdul Hussain Ganai, in Srinagar.

High Court Justice Sanjay Dhar after consider-ing the arguments from both sides observed that the non-consideration or unreasonably delayed consideration of the representation violates the Constitution and quashed the detention of Abdul Hussain Ganaie under black law.

Such non-compliance renders the detention unsustainable in law, he added. The detenue, Abdul Hussain Ganaie, is directed to be released from custody immediately, the court order said.—KMS
