Srinagar, Feb. 19 -- The High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh on Wednesday quashed the detention order of journalist Majid Hyderi under the Public Safety Act (PSA).
Justice V.K. Chatterjee quashed Hyderi's detention under the PSA on Wednesday.
The Press Club of Kashmir expressed happiness in quashing the PSA. The PSA was slapped against Hyderi in 2023 on frivolous grounds, they said.
Hyderi, a freelance journalist and prominent TV commentator, was arrested in September 2023 from his residence on charges of criminal conspiracy, extortion, intimidation, and defamation. He was booked under the PSA and lodged in Kot Bhalwal Jail.
