The Government of Uttar Pradesh will challenge a Delhi High Court ruling that annulled the detention of a Delhi University student under the National Security Act.
The Delhi High Court recently overturned a National Security Act detention imposed on a student of Delhi University, citing lack of sufficient evidence.
The decision was welcomed by student rights groups who argued that the detention violated due process.
In response, the Government of Uttar Pradesh has announced that it will file an appeal against the order, stating that the court’s ruling undermines the authority of law‑enforcement agencies.
The appeal is expected to be lodged within the next few days, and it may lead to a stay on the student’s release pending further judicial review.
