Stale FIR Evidence Cannot Satisfy Subjective Satisfaction Under J&K Public Safety Act 1978 | Preventive Detention : JK HC
The Jammu & Kashmir High Court set aside a PSA detention order that relied on a 2022 FIR, holding that preventive detention must be based on fresh, current material to meet the authority's subjective satisfaction. This ruling narrows the scope of PSA detentions and obliges officials to base orders on up-to-date evidence, impacting current and future detainees under the Act.
