The petitioner, through the medium of the present petition, has sought quashment of Order No. 49/DMB/PSA/2023 dated 23.08.2023 (for short “the impugned order”), whereby Imran Nasser Peer, S/o Naseer Ahmad Peer, R/o Harwan Sopore, Tehsil Bomai Zaingeer, District Baramulla (for short “the detenue”), has been detained under the provisions of the J&K Public Safety Act, 1987 (for short “the Act”) on the ground of having indulged in activities prejudicial to the maintenance of security of the State, and lodged in District Jail, Baramulla. HCP 99/2023 P a g e | 2 2. Perusal of the impugned order reveals that the same was executed on 24.08.2023, and the detenue has been under preventive detention since that date. 3. The period of detention prescribed under the Act in cases where the detenue is detained for maintenance of the security of the State is two years, which has already elapsed on 24.08.2025. Consequently, the impugned order has outlived its life, thereby rendering the present petition infructuous 4. Be that as it may, the detenue cannot be continued in custody any longer in pursuance of the impugned order, which has lost its life. 5. In view of the above, the detenue is directed to be released from preventive custody forthwith. 6. Petition disposed of accordingly. (MOKSHA KHAJURIA KAZMI) JUDGE SRINAGAR: 03-09-2025 Mubashir i.
