Srinagar, September 03 : In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the High Court has rejected an application by the wife of illegally detained Jamaat-e-Islami chief, Abdul Hameed Ganie, seeking his release on parole to attend the marriage ceremony of their daughter.
Senior Additional Advocate General, B.A. Dar submitted before the court that a representation was submitted by Ms Lateefa Bano to the authorities for release of her husband on the parole which was not considered.
“Perusal whereof reveals that a representation filed by Ms Lateefa Bano for release of the detainee on parole, has not been considered,” the court observed according to media reports, adding, “In view of above, application on hand is rejected.”
However, a bench of Justice Tashi Rabstan directed jail authorities in Kathua where he is lodged under the draconian Public Safety Act since August 5, last year, to make arrangements to enable the detainee to watch the marriage ceremony of his daughter through virtual mode, WhatsApp mode or any other mode that would be available to the authorities concerned.
