    CASE SUMMARY: HCP/234/2025 The High Court of Jammu & Kashmir quashed the preventive detention order of Tariq Ahmad Rah under the Public Safety Act, 1978, on two grounds: (1) the detainee's representation filed in June 2025 was never considered by the detaining authority or Government despite constitutional obligation under Article 22(5), and (2) the detention grounds were vague and based solely on cheating FIRs for which he had already been granted bail, insufficient for preventive detention. The court held that non-consideration of representation vitiates detention and ordered his immediate release. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
