Srinagar, Feb 23: The hearing in the Public Safety Act (PSA) case of MLA Mehraj Malik was conducted today as per the scheduled date, an official said.
Sources said that during the proceedings, arguments from both sides were completed.
After hearing detailed submissions, the court reserved its judgment in the matter.
The court has granted one week’s time to the concerned parties for the submission of any written synopsis or additional documents, if they wish to file the same.
The case now awaits the final verdict, which is expected after the completion of the stipulated period.
It is important to mention, Mehraj Malik was detained under the Public Safety Act (PSA), a law that allows preventive detention in Jammu and Kashmir on grounds related to security and public order. Following his detention, the matter was challenged before the court, seeking relief and questioning the grounds of detention.
Notably, the case has since been under judicial consideration, leading to the present stage where arguments have been concluded and judgment reserved. Further updates will follow as the matter progresses.— KNC
