Response to allegations of illegal detention, clampdown ready, but needs fine-tuning: Government
India’s Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, has granted the government an extension to submit its reply affidavit concerning accusations of illegal detention and a proposed clampdown. The three‑judge bench set the new deadline for filing the response as October 15, 2026, giving officials additional time to address the allegations. The decision underscores the court’s ongoing scrutiny of the matter.
