Jammu and Kashmir High Court Summons Srinagar Deputy Commissioner Over Detention Order
The Jammu and Kashmir High Court has summoned the Srinagar Deputy Commissioner to explain a preventive detention order passed under the Public Safety Act, which the court described as 'recklessly and mechanically' issued without proper consideration. Justice Wasim Sadiq Nargal emphasized that preventive detention is an extraordinary measure requiring strict adherence to constitutional safeguards protecting personal liberty. The court highlighted the importance of applying independent judgment before depriving an individual of liberty and scheduled the Deputy Commissioner's personal appearance for further explanation.
