Srinagar, April 25

The Jammu and Kashmir High Court has quashed the detention of three persons booked under the Public Safety Act.

While disposing of the three separate habeas corpus petitions, a bench of Justice Tashi Rabstan quashed the detention of Shabir Ahmad Wani and Umar Ahmad Dar — both residents of DH Pora in Kulgam, and Azad Ahmad Sheikh, a resident of Arreh in Kulgam.

While Shabir was booked under the PSA on August 8 last year, Umar was booked on August 14 last year. Both were lodged at Central Jail, Srinagar.

The third detenue, Azad Ahmad, was booked under the PSA on July 4, 2019, and lodged at Kot Bhalwal Jail in Jammu.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
