HC issues notices to Centre, Delhi govt over continued detention of anti-CAA woman protester under UAPA

The Hindu  

The Delhi High Court has issued notices to both the Centre and the Delhi government over continued detention of a 25-year-old woman, involved in anti-Citizenship Amendment Act and National Register of Citizens protests, under Unlawful Activities Prevention Act when the Special Courts which can extend her custody have not been functioning due to coronavirus-induced lockdown. The high court order came on a habeas corpus petition by Mr. Aqil Hussain seeking direction to produce his sister Ms. Gulfisha Fatima, an MBA student, who has been under continued detention since she was arrested on April 9. Mr. Hussain stated that even though his sister was granted bail in the initial FIR in Police Station Jafrabad, she remains in custody due to the alleged charges against her under the UAPA. The plea said that the continued detention of Ms. Fatima was without authority of law, and urged the high court to released her immediately.
