| HC quashes PSA of history sheeter | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Aug 11: Justice Puneet Gupta of J&K High Court today quashed the detention under PSA of Surinder Singh, an alleged history sheeter. While quashing detention order No. 02/DMU/JC/PSA-2019, Justice Puneet Gupta after hearing Adv Ankur Sharma for the petitioner observed that mere perusal of the detention order and the grounds of detention reveal that the details of the FIRs registered against the petitioner right from the year 1990 till detention order came to be passed have been mentioned therein. The offences in which the FIRs have been registered against the petitioner also find mention therein. No doubt the copies of FIRs and the challan also appear to have been supplied to the petitioner but the matter does not seem to rest here. It is pertinent to mention herein that the petitioner in his pleadings has specifically mentioned about the outcome of the challans which were filed in pursuance to the lodging of FIRs. The petitioner has mentioned that he has been acquitted in most of the FIRs or bailed out. This fact is not controverted / disputed by the other side. Surprisingly, the dossier does not mention the factum of disposal of most of the criminal cases which were lodged against the petitioner and that the petitioner stands acquitted in those cases. Either the respondents were not fully aware of the outcome of those criminal cases which were lodged against the petitioner or they did not intend to disclose the same with a view to strengthen its case against the petitioner for detention on the ground of disruption of public order. The detention order not only misses out on the above vital aspect of the case but also again shows the non-application of mind on the part of the respondents. (JNF)
