Mr. B. S. Slathia, AAG submitted that detention of Javed Iqbal was justified in view of his activities noticed during period of earlier detention.
High Court further observed that "detention records do not contain any material on basis whereof it may be said that petitioner had been supplied material on basis whereof vague grounds were drawn by District Magistrate. The detention of petitioner on these vague grounds must, therefore, fail."
High Court while illegal detention held that "the additional ground is significantly silent about particulars and names of contacts with whom the petitioner is stated to have been in touch during his alleged working for terrorists and facilitating anti-national activities in State." |
