The state of circumstances which led the respondent No. 2 – District Magistrate, Srinagar to order the preventive detention of the petitioner is when Sr. Superintendent of Police (SSP), Srinagar by virtue of his letter No. LGL/Det/2025/14062-65 dated 28.04.2025 forwarded a dossier with respect to the alleged state of activities of the petitioner which were read and reckoned to be prejudicial to the maintenance of security of the State. 06. In his said dossier, Sr. Superintendent of Police (SSP), Srinagar came to introduce the petitioner as a resident of Mulfaq Hazratbal, Srinagar and an illiterate person who from his early age got deeply influenced by a radical ideology and coming in contact with active terrorists and OGWs of LeT thereby getting motivated to work for the outfit for providing logistic support.

All sensitive information regarding movement of police and the security forces in the area are said to have been shared and reported by the petitioner for LeT banned outfit. The petitioner is alleged to be engaged in preaching, spreading and propagating terrorist ideology in the area and motivating youth for joining unlawful activities in the area. 07. By digging the past, the petitioner’s involvement in the year 2008 in a criminal case registered as FIR No. 39/2008 under section 307 RPC of Police Station Zakoora has been highlighted on the basis whereof the petitioner’s previous preventive detention order in terms of an Order No. DMS/PSA/12/2022 dated 07.04.2022 under the Jammu & Kashmir Public Safety Act, 1978 came to take place only to be quashed by the High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh at Srinagar through the medium of WP(Crl) No. 338/2022 dated 03.04.2022 as is stated in the dossier. 08. The petitioner is said to have relapsed in anti- national activities without mending his ways despite being given many chances with a hope that the petitioner would live a normal life but that was not meant to be so, as from the reliable resources and reports, the petitioner is said to be still engaged in sharing anti-national posts on social media through encrypted sites. 09. Dossier further states that the petitioner has been subjected on three occasions to proceedings under section 126 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023 on 15.06.2024, 11.05.2024 & 11.04.2024. 10. Drawing from said dossier, the respondent No. 2 – District Magistrate, Srinagar came to frame grounds of detention without deviating even by shade from the very text of the dossier to the extent of even repeating the previous detention order No. DMS/PSA/12/2022 dated 07.04.2022 and quashment of said order by the High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh at Srinagar vide WP(Crl) No. 338/2022 dated 03.04.2022 meaning thereby the order of the High Court came first on 03.04.2022 and the detention order came to be passed later on 07.04.2022. 11. 11. Two senior most officers, one of District Police and other one of District Magistrate, were not able to carry out a mindful reading of the text of the dossier as well as the grounds of detention to attend to this patent anomaly with respect to mention of date is an indicator of the fact that making of dossier and formulation of grounds of detention was perhaps taking place at the end of the clerical staff of said two officers. 12. The detention warrant came to be executed by ASI Nazeer Ahmed, PID No. 871612/ARP of Police Station Zakoora who is said to have handed over 12 leaves compilation comprising of detention warrant, grounds of detention, notice of detention order, dossier and other relevant documents by explaining to the petitioner in the language understood by him and taking a receipt from him to said effect. This means that what was read over to the petitioner by ASI Nazeer Ahmed from the grounds of detention as well as from the dossier is the fact that the previous detention of the petitioner in terms of Order No. DMS/PSA/12/2022 dated 07.04.2022 was quashed by the High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, Srinagar Wing in WP(Crl) No. 338/2022 by order dated 03.04.2022 which ex-facie is a self-contradictory and self-negating fact that the detention order followed the quashment order. 13. Although, the detention order of the petitioner came to be approved by the Government in terms of Govt. Order No. Home/PB-V/798 of 2025 dated 06.05.2025 followed by Advisory Board’s opinion dated 23.05.2025 with confirmation order getting passed vide Govt. 13.
