Person Confined Under Preventive Detention Law In Jammu & Kashmir Not Released Despite High Court's Quashing Order Passed Over A Year Ago
Live LawTerming the non-release of a detainee whose detention order under Public Safety Act was quashed by it last year as a very "disturbing scenario", the Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh High Court has ordered District Magistrate, Baramulla to be personally present before it and also produce the detainee before it next week. A bench comprising Justice Rahul Bharti observed, "Through this writ petition, a very disturbing scenario has been presented before this Court which cannot be left to be dealt with in a routine manner except at the cost of undermining the Rule of Law which is meant to govern and is governing this Country irrespective of place or region" Justice Bharti passed these directions while hearing the petitioner, through his father, who invited the court's attention to the fact that despite an order quashing his preventive detention last year, the petitioner continues to remain unlawfully confined by the respondents. Consequently, the court quashed the detention order and directed the respondents of the writ petition to release the petitioner immediately if not required in any other case. Recognizing the seriousness of the case and the violation of the petitioner's fundamental rights guaranteed under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, the bench issued notice to the District Magistrate of Baramulla directed him to produce the petitioner before the court on the next date of hearing, where the District Magistrate himself is also required to be present in person.
