Supreme Court rejects petition challenging Farooq Abdullah's detention

New delhi date. September 30, 2019, Monday

A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court claiming that former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir and National Conference party leader Farooq Abdullah has been detained in custody.

The petition demanded that Abdullah be released and ordered to appear in the Supreme Court immediately. However, the Supreme Court has rejected the petition.

On the other hand, a petition has also been made regarding the abolition of Article 370, in which the Government's decision was challenged. The petition will now be heard by the Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court. There is a possibility that a decision will be made in the Supreme Court on October 1st.

MDMK leader and Rajya Sabha MP Waiko claimed in the Supreme Court that Farooq Abdullah was detained under the Jammu and Kashmir Public Safety Act before the appeal was heard in the Supreme Court on September 16.

The steps taken against them are illegal. However, later Supreme Court judges SA Bobde and SA. Nazir said that the petitioner should challenge Abdullah's detention order, and that it should be challenged by the appropriate authority.

Earlier, on September 16, the Supreme Court ordered the Center and the Jammu and Kashmir Administration to properly respond to Waiko's appeal. It is noteworthy that 81-year-old Farooq Abdullah was detained under the Jammu and Kashmir Public Safety Act.

Waiko, in the Supreme Court's appeal against the detention, argued that the Jammu and Kashmir administration had done wrong, which also violated the basic rights of Farooq Abdullah.

I have been a friend of Abdullah for the last four decades, and the action that has been taken against him has also been shown to be quite false. The Supreme Court, however, rejected the appeal and asked to go before the authority.
