Wholly Untenable’: SC Orders Immediate Release of Law Student from preventive detention under NSA

The Supreme Court has ordered the immediate release of a Madhya Pradesh law student detained under the National Security Act (NSA), declaring the detention “wholly untenable.” The court found that the preventive detention lacked valid grounds under the NSA and involved serious procedural lapses, including the failure to forward the student’s representation to the state government. Despite having secured bail in all criminal cases against him, the student remained in custody solely under the NSA until the SC’s intervention.
