ISLAMABAD, (MILLAT+APP): The High Court, in occupied
Kashmir, has reserved its judgment on a petition by noted human
rights activist, Khurram Parvez, against his detention under
draconian law, Public Safety Act (PSA).
According to KMS, a bench of Justice Muzaffar Hussain Attar reserved
the judgment after hearing Khurram Parvez’s counsel, Parvez Imroz and
Additional Advocate General, Muhammad Iqbal Dar, representing the
territory.
Khurram Parvez was booked on September 21 under the PSA
after District Magistrate issued an order.
Pleading that Khurram was detained on false and frivolous
charges, Advocate Imroz submitted that his client is a renowned
human rights activist and has long history of commendable human
rights work. “It is non application of the mind to book Khurram
under draconian PSA. The human rights activist is involved in none
of the FIRs cited by the authorities and his name finds mention
nowhere,” Imroz said.
“The grounds of detention are not only vague, irrelevant,
ambiguous and non-existent but also lack material particulars
regarding time and date which renders the same liable to be set
aside” he added.
