JAMMU, May 16: High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh has upheld the detention under PSA of Tanseem Ahmad Sheikh, who had contacts with banned terrorist organization Hizbul Mujahideen (HM).
After hearing both the sides, Justice Puneet Gupta observed, “there is no reason to disbelieve that the petitioner has not been handed over that much of material at the time of execution of the warrant. The plea taken that the copy of the FIR or other material was not provided to him is a plea which cannot be accepted by the court”.
“Even if a document or two is not provided to the detenue while executing the warrant that does not mean the detention proceedings are illegal in their entirety. The reference to the past activities in the detention order is not the basis of impugned detention order and if some material regarding those allegations is not provided to the petitioner that will not be fatal to the detention proceedings”, High Court said
Accordingly, High Court upheld the PSA.
