    Case Summary: HCP/171/2025 The High Court of Jammu & Kashmir upheld a preventive detention order against Irfan Ahmad Kuttay under the J&K Public Safety Act 1978, rejecting his plea for quashment. The court held that preventive detention and criminal prosecution operate in different spheres—while prior bail in criminal cases doesn't invalidate preventive detention, the detaining authority's subjective satisfaction based on material evidence of the detainee's activities as an over-ground worker (OGW) providing logistic support to terrorists remains valid. The court found no constitutional infirmity, procedural violation, or non-application of mind, noting that all required materials and grounds were properly communicated to the detainee in his understanding.
