Jammu and Kashmir High Court Quashes Two PSA Detentions Over Procedural and Evidentiary Issues
The Jammu and Kashmir High Court quashed two Public Safety Act (PSA) detentions, citing procedural delays and insufficient evidence. In one case, the court invalidated Basharat Mehmood's detention due to a 43-day delay in deciding his representation, violating his right to prompt consideration. In another, the court ruled that labeling Ishfaq Ahmad Wani as a Lashkar-e-Toiba overground worker without detailed factual basis failed constitutional standards, emphasizing that preventive detention requires clear justification beyond mere labels.
