Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir High Court today quashed the detention of hardline separatist Masarat Alam under the Public Safety Act (PSA).
Justice Hasnain Masoodi today announced in open court in Srinagar that he has quashed the detention order issued by state government under the PSA against Masarat Alam and the detailed order would follow.
Alam, detained under the PSA on April 18 two days after Pakistani flags were displayed at a reception rally he led in Srinagar for senior separatist Syed Ali Geelani, had challenged his detention order in the high court through senior advocate Mian Qayoom.
A serious controversy had plagued the relations between the Peoples Democratic Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party over Alam's release as the decision to release Alam was widely believed to have been taken by Sayeed himself.
