Prayagraj, September 1
The Allahabad High Court today quashed the detention of Dr Kafeel Khan under the National Security Act (NSA) and ordered his immediate release, saying his speech at Aligarh Muslim University didn't promote hatred or violence.
The Bench said the Aligarh district magistrate, who passed the detention order, did a "selective reading" of his speech, "ignoring its true intent". The court allowed the writ petition filed by Khan's mother Nuzhat Parveen and said the detention order by the district magistrate is illegal.
Khan has been in jail since January after he delivered the allegedly provocative speech at the AMU during the anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act protests in December last year. He is lodged in Mathura jail. — PTI
