Dawoodi and Mushtaq Veeri’s PSA detention is quashed by the High Court

The detention orders for Moulana Abdul Rashid Dawoodi and Mushtaq Ahmed Veeri, who were charged under the Public Safety Act, were revoked by the Jammu & Kashmir High Court on Friday.

The Court invalidated the detention orders of both religious clergy who were booked under the PSA in 2022, according to information accessible with the news organisation Kashmir News Observer (KNO).

In the Kashmir Valley, there is a sizable following for both clergy. The leader of “Tehreek-e- Sout-ul Auliya,” Dawoodi, is connected to Jamiat-Ahle-Hadees (JaH)—(KNO), but Veeri is not.
