Jammu and Kashmir High Court Quashes Detention Over Facebook Posts on 'Lord Ram'
The Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh High Court quashed a Public Safety Act detention order against a 41-year-old man accused of derogatory Facebook posts about 'Lord Ram' and mocking Hindu women during Karwa Chauth. The court cited a 38-day delay in issuing the detention after authorities recommended it, calling this a misuse of power to bypass a pre-arrest bail. Justice Rajesh Sekhri noted that withholding bail documents violated the detainee's constitutional rights by limiting his ability to challenge the detention.
