Big Relief For AAP, Court Quashes PSA Detention Of Mehraj Malik

Justice Mohammad Yousuf Wani passed the order nearly two months after the court reserved its judgment on February 23 on a petition filed by Malik.

“The high court on Monday quashed the PSA of Mehraj Malik. We have won the case,” Malik’s counsel and AAP spokesperson Appu Singh Salathia said.

“It was a tough journey for all of us but we have won. Advocate Rahul Pant and other members of the team fought the case on merits,” she said. Malik’s legal team wrapped up arguments on December 18, contending that the government’s lackadaisical approach had kept a sitting MLA behind bars, leaving his constituency without representation.
