JAMMU, Apr 23: High Court has quashed the preventive detention order passed by District Magistrate Jammu against Prabhakar Singh alias Shoki, son of Lakhan Singh of Kot and issued directions for his immediate release if not required in connection with any other case.
The District Magistrate Jammu vide Order No.10 dated November 4, 2020 placed the petitioner under prevention detention in order to prevent him from acting in any manner prejudicial to the maintenance to the public order.
However, the petitioner contended that the grounds of detention and the material in support thereof were not furnished to him thereby preventing him from making an effective representation against the impugned order of detention.
