In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the High Court has quashed the illegal detention of two persons booked under black law, Public Safety Act.
Justice Ali Mohammad Magrey while quashing the detention of Mairajuddin Ganai of Srinagar and Muhammad Ilyas Sheikh of Kulgam observed that the detainees were not provided with the materials relied upon by the detaining authority to detain them.
