Supreme Court Petition Against Sonam Wangchuk's Detention to be Amended
The wife of Ladakh-based activist Sonam Wangchuk, Gitanjali Angmo, has sought the Supreme Court's permission to amend her petition challenging Wangchuk's preventive detention.
The amendment is necessary to address the grounds of detention supplied by the Central government, which were previously claimed to be missing.
- The Central government has asserted that the grounds of detention have been supplied.
- An affidavit was filed by the District Magistrate of Leh before the Supreme Court.
The petition initially sought Wangchuk's release due to the lack of grounds for detention.
Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal, representing Angmo, has sought permission to amend the plea to challenge the supplied grounds of detention.
Author's summary: Amended petition to challenge detention grounds.
