#J & K High Court quashes Masarat Alam's detention

Srinagar, Dec 30 (IBNS) The Jammu and Kashmir High Court on Tuesday quashed the detention of separatist leader Masarat Alam under Public Safety Act (PSA) and ordered his release, reports said.

Alam  was arrested in April 2015 for allegedly hoisting Pakistani flag and chanting anti-national slogans during a rally organised by the hardline faction of Hurriyat Conference.

Police had registered a case against several separatist leaders, including Alam and Hurriyat Conference hardline leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani for provocative activities including hoisting of Pakistani flag.
 
Barely a month before his arrest, Alam was released in March 2015 after the PDP-BJP government came to power, a move that triggered political uproar.
