Supreme Court quashes NSA detention of Sambhal violence accused, slaps ₹10 lakh costs on U.P. govt.
India’s Supreme Court invalidated the National Security Advisor’s detention of a man accused in the Sambhal violence case, directing the Uttar Pradesh government to bear costs of ten lakh rupees. The verdict responded to a petition filed by Mulla Afroz, with the court concluding that the authority’s detention power had been exercised unlawfully and violated legal norms.
