JAMMU, May 15: High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh has upheld the detention under PSA of Yudhbir Singh, a hardcore criminal.
The detenue was detained under PSA on the orders passed by District Magistrate Jammu for his involvement in numerous activities of serious and heinous nature over a period of time and for spreading a reign of terror among the peace loving people.
After hearing Advocate Anmol Sharma for the petitioner whereas AAG Rajesh Thappa for the UT, Justice Sindhu Sharma observed, “the grounds of detention are definite, proximate and free from any ambiguity and the detenu was informed with sufficient clarity what weighed with the detaining authority while passing the order of detention”.
“The procedural safeguards are complied with. The Detaining Authority arrived at the satisfaction after considering all the material placed before it and none of the constitutional and statutory rights of the detenu have been violated”, High Court said, adding “the act of detaining is related to activities which have been projecting a serious threat to the maintenance of public order. The contention of the detenu regarding grounds of detention being replica or dossier is also without any merit”.
“The Detaining Authority after application of mind has arrived at the subjective satisfaction to detain the detenu. There is no ground to interfere in the impugned order of detention”, High Court added.
