JAMMU, Aug 14 (JNF): In a petition filed by Hilal Akbar Lone, former AAG and son of Mohd Akbar Lone, seeking compensation to the tune of Rs 1 crore for his illegal detention since 18.6.2020, the Jammu and Kashmir government informed the High Court that it has not detained National Conference leader Hilal Akbar Lone.
In its response to the habeas corpus plea by Lone, the government has said the petitioner is availing security cover because of his political involvement and like other protected persons he has been advised not to visit any vulnerable area without informing the concerned authorities so that proper security arrangement were made for his safety and the security. Justice Ali Muhammad Magrey, however, allowed Lone’ s counsel Shuja-ul-haq to respond to the report of the authorities after he sought time for the same. The court listed the matter for further hearing on August 17.
The petitioner has sought direction to the authorities to produce him before the Court and set him free. He has also sought direction for paying Rs one crore as compensation for his illegal detention since June 18 this year. JNF
