Top Court To Hear Plea Challenging Omar Abdullah's Detention Tomorrow | NDTV Newsroom

Top news with NDTV's Sarah Jacob | A new Supreme Court bench will on Friday hear a petition by National Conference leader Omar Abdullah's sister Sara Abdullah Pilot challenging his detention under the Public Safety Act. The plea has been listed for Friday before the new 2-judge bench, also comprising Justice Indira Banerjee, after a judge had recused himself from hearing the matter without citing any specific reason. Sara Abdullah Pilot's plea had come up for hearing before a 3-judge bench comprising Justices NV Ramana, MM Shantanagoudar and Sanjiv Khanna. Sara Abdullah Pilot had on February 10 approached the top court, saying the order of detention is "manifestly illegal" and there is no question of her brother being a "threat to the maintenance of public order".
