JAMMU, May 7: High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh has upheld the detention under PSA of Paramjeet Kumar alias Jungi, who is allegedly a habitual criminal.
Justice Sanjay Dhar, while upholding the detention order, observed, “a perusal of the grounds of detention, which are subject matter of the present case, reveals that, besides the aforesaid six FIRs, FIR No. 58/2022 of Police Station, Miran Sahib, FIR No. 64/2023 of Police Station R.S.Pura and FIR No. 87/23 of Police Station R.S.Pura also find mention in the grounds of detention”.
“So, it is not a case where the impugned order of detention is based upon the same FIRs that were the basis of earlier detention order, but, it is a case where, after quashing of previous detention order, the detenue has been found involved in at least three more criminal cases relating to drug trafficking, possession of illicit arms and extortion”, High Court said, adding “the contention of counsel for the detenue that the basis of the impugned detention order is the same that was the basis of earlier detention order, that was quashed by this court vide judgment dated 22.10.2018, is without any merit”.
With these observations, court refused to interfere with the order of detention.
