Imran Masood, Chandrashekhar Azad criticise UP govt after SC quashes NSA detention in Sambhal case

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 29 (IANS) Following the Supreme Courts decision to quash the preventive detention of Mulla Afroz under the National Security Act (NSA) in connection with the November 2024 Sambhal violence, Congress MP Imran Masood and Aazad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) president Chandrashekhar Azad on Tuesday criticised the Uttar Pradesh government. The Supreme Court held that the power of preventive detention had been illegally exercised and imposed costs of Rs 10 lakh on the Uttar Pradesh government. The court also set aside the Allahabad High Court order that had upheld the detention. Speaking to IANS, Masood said, It has not only been quashed. Please read the complete news. Along with quashing the NSA, a fine of Rs 10 lakh has also been imposed on the state government. Officials should understand that the agenda they are pursuing with their eyes closed will eventually lead to files reaching the Supreme Court and could send them behind bars. The Saharanpur mosque case will also come up in the same manner, he said. Masood further said, There are documents that are speaking for themselves. You cannot hide those documents. Demolishing mosques and persecuting people based on religion goes against the Indian Constitution. The same Constitution that gives you the authority to hold office also guarantees the protection of our rights. Aazad Samaj Party president and Nagina MP, Chandrashekhar Azad, said the Rs 10 lakh cost imposed by the Supreme Court was inadequate. A Rs 10 lakh fine is too little. The government and police send innocent people to jail on the government's orders, and when the judiciary imposes a fine on them, it is only Rs 10 lakh. In my view, the fine should have been Rs 10 crore, he said. Azad alleged that the NSA was being used to suppress opposition voices and silence cases, adding that he had himself been detained under the law. I am sitting before you today after the government detained me under the NSA despite me being innocent. I was kept in jail for 16 months, he said. The government wants to suppress voices of opposition and silence cases through the NSA. The people will not be suppressed either. When the people and the state stand up, they will remove this government from power, he added. The Supreme Courts ruling came on a petition filed by Mulla Afroz, who was arrested in connection with the Sambhal violence.

SC quashes Mulla Afrozs NSA detention in Sambhal violence case, imposes Rs 10 lakh costs on UP govt

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 29 (IANS) The Supreme Court has quashed the preventive detention of UP cleric Mulla Afroz under the National Security Act (NSA) in connection with the 2024 Sambhal violence case, holding that a confessional statement made before a police officer cannot, by itself and without independent supporting material, form the basis for preventive detention. A Bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and Sheel Nagu set aside the Allahabad High Court judgment upholding Afrozs detention order, as well as the detention and confirmation orders, and directed that he be released forthwith unless his custody was required in any other case. The apex court also imposed costs of Rs 10 lakh on the Uttar Pradesh government, directing that the amount be paid to Afroz within one month from the date of the judgment. The case arose from violence during a survey of a mosque in Sambhal on November 24, 2024, in which four persons died. Although Afroz was not named in the FIR registered on the day of the incident, he was arrested around 54 days later, on January 17, 2025, in connection with other FIRs. During his custody, an extra-judicial confessional statement was recorded, and a .32 bore pistol was stated to have been recovered. Afroz was granted bail in one of the cases in September 2025, following which the Sambhal District Magistrate passed an NSA detention order on October 13, 2025. The state government subsequently confirmed the detention for a further period of 12 months. By June 2026, Afroz had secured bail in all the criminal cases arising from the incident. The Supreme Court identified two broad issues for consideration -- whether an order of preventive detention could be based on an extra-judicial confession and whether the procedural safeguards under the Constitution and the NSA had been complied with. It held that such a statement, particularly when the appellant had consistently alleged that it was obtained through threats and torture, could not constitute the basis for subjective satisfaction in the absence of independent supporting material. Therefore, we are of the considered opinion that a confessional statement made before a police officer cannot, by itself, and in the absence of any independent material lending support thereto, constitute a basis for forming the subjective satisfaction necessary to sustain an order of preventive detention, the Justice Datta-led Bench said. The apex court said a police confession is treated with suspicion under Section 23 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam and has to be tested against the constitutional protection against self-incrimination under Article 20(3). It observed that if a confession was considered too tainted to be received in evidence for proving guilt, its use as a substantive basis for preventive detention would require a deeper scrutiny. At the same time, the Supreme Court clarified that where a detention authority relies upon other material apart from a confessional statement, the validity of the detention has to be examined on the basis of such independent material. The bench further held that the existence of multiple criminal cases, by itself, could not justify preventive detention unless supported by cogent and reliable material. It observed that preventive detention involves curtailment of personal liberty not for what a person has already done, but for what is apprehended that the person may do in future. Preventive detention has always been regarded as an exceptional measure, the Supreme Court said, adding that it must be invoked with the utmost circumspection. The bench further held that material relied upon to justify preventive detention must establish the necessity of preventing future prejudicial conduct and should not merely reinforce allegations already forming the subject matter of an ongoing criminal prosecution. However, the apex court made it clear that it was expressing no opinion on the merits of the criminal cases against Afroz, which would proceed in accordance with law. The Supreme Court ultimately held that the Allahabad High Court judgment and the detention and confirmation orders could not be sustained in law and set them aside. Recording that the detention order was passed on October 13, 2025 and confirmed on November 28, 2025, for one year, it observed that Afroz had already suffered considerable loss of liberty despite securing bail in all the cases relating to the incident. In such circumstances, the process was made the punishment, it said, allowing the appeal and directing Afrozs release and payment of Rs 10 lakh in costs by the state government.

Wrong Precedent: Lawyers Body Protests Supreme Courts Handling Of Noida DMs Plea

THE LAWYERS ASSOCIATION FOR CONSTITUTION (LAFC) has written to the Chief Justice of India questioning the special listing and muted live proceedings in the case of Noida District Magistrate Medha Roopam. LAFC has sent an open letter to the Chief Justice of India protesting the listing of two petitions filed over strictures passed against Gautam Buddh Nagar District Magistrate Medha Roopam. The letter, dated September 24, objects to the matter being placed before a particular bench outside the ordinary roster, and to the muting of the video conferencing feed during the hearing. The out-of-turn listing of the case has received special treatment and tends to set a wrong precedent, the LAFC wrote. The letter noted that Roopam also happens to be the daughter of the Chief Election Commissioner of India, namely Gyanesh Kumar. Allahabad High Court Quashing NSA Against Akriti and Indicting Civil Servants Captures Sardar Patel and Ambedkars Vision The underlying case The dispute traces back to protests by workers in Noida demanding wage revisions. A student, Akriti Chaudhary, was detained under the National Security Act in connection with the unrest. The Allahabad High Court quashed her detention and directed Roopam to pay Rs 5 lakh compensation from her own salary. Paragraphs 27 to 33 of that judgment recorded strictures against the DM, holding that she desired to set an example out of Chaudhary to deter others from exercising their right to freedom of speech and expression in public spaces in support of labourers. Roopam and the Uttar Pradesh government moved the Supreme Court against the order. The petitions, SLP (Crl.) Diary No. 56202/2026 and SLP (Crl.) No. 18010/2026, came up before a bench of Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice N K Singh. Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi appeared for the state, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta for Roopam, and Senior Advocate Colin Gonsalves for Chaudhary. Muted proceedings, then a clarified order During the September 23 hearing, the bench muted the audio of the video conferencing feed, cutting off media access since reporters cannot enter the courtroom in person. The Court reserved orders on interim relief that day. Later on September 23, the Court stayed paragraphs 27 to 33 of the High Court judgment, the portion recording strictures and directing salary recovery. Notice was issued, and the matter was listed for October 7. The Court clarified that the stay did not extend to the quashing of Chaudharys NSA detention itself, which stands. On September 24, the Court revised its order to make this distinction explicit, specifying that the stay operates only on the adverse remarks against the officer and the compensation direction. The LAFCs objection While the LAFCs in its letter has not disputed the merits of the stay, it has raised complaints such as that the case did not fall before this bench under the prevailing roster for NSA matters, that it appears to have been specially assigned, and that muting the live feed in a case important for media and the public undermines the openness that video conferencing is meant to provide. The special listing before a particular bench has also not enhanced confidence in the judicial process, the letter states.
