Allahabad High Court Reserves Verdict on Journalist Satyam Verma's NSA Detention Challenge
The Allahabad High Court reserved judgment on journalist Satyam Verma's habeas corpus petition challenging his preventive detention under the National Security Act related to the April 2026 Noida workers' protest. The court questioned the use of the term 'andolanjeevi' in official detention grounds and raised concerns about basing detention on ideology or associations. Verma's petition claims a strong alibi supported by CCTV and call records, alleging suppression of evidence and wrongful detention. The court's decision is pending.
