India, Oct. 6 -- Guwahati: The Supreme Court on Monday questioned the Centre over its failure to inform climate activist Sonam Wangchuk's wife, Gitanjali J Angmo, of the reasons behind his detention under the National Security Act (NSA).
A bench comprising Justices Aravind Kumar and NV Anjaria issued notices to the Union government, Jammu & Kashmir, and Rajasthan, after Angmo filed a habeas corpus petition under Article 32.
She argued that the authorities had neither explained the basis for detaining her husband nor allowed her to meet him since they took him into custody on September 26.
The court will hear the matter on October 14.
