Delhi High Court Declines Urgent Hearing on Activist Nadeem Khan's Detention Plea
Civil rights activist Mohammad Wasiq Nadeem Khan alleged he was illegally detained and placed under house arrest by Delhi Police to prevent his participation in protests at Jantar Mantar. Khan sought urgent hearing from the Delhi High Court to challenge potential detention ahead of planned protests and his travel to Kolkata. The court declined urgent hearing, scheduling the matter for October 12, noting no written order restricting his travel. Khan's counsel argued the issue involved personal liberty and prior house arrest incidents.
