JAMMU, Feb 13: A Division Bench of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court comprising Justice Atul Sreedharan and Justice Rajesh Sekhri has upheld the PSA of Ghulam Murtaza, an alleged bovine smuggler.
While dismissing the LPA, DB observed, “the material on record, even before the Single Judge, reflects that the appellant was a recidivist committing the same act of unlawful transportation of bovine creatures despite having been apprehended earlier in such cases”.
“Under the circumstances, his detention cannot be referred to as a knee jerk reaction by the authority on one solitary instance. The natures of the appellant’s acts are also such that it has the potential to disturb public order on account of public sentiments”, court held.
“There is no perversity shown in the order to warrant interference with the same”, the DB added.
