New Delhi, Nov 24: The Supreme Court on Monday adjourned to December 8 the hearing on a plea filed by the wife of jailed climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, terming his detention under National Security Act as \u201cillegal, and an arbitrary exercise violating his fundamental rights.\u201d A bench of Justices Aravind Kumar and N V Anjaria deferred the matter after Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre and the Union Territory of Ladakh, sought time to respond to the rejoinder filed by Wangchuk\u2019s wife.
\nOn October 29, the top court sought response of the Centre and the Ladakh administration on an amended plea of Wangchuk\u2019s wife.According to the amended plea, \u201cthe detention order is founded upon stale FIRs, vague imputations, and speculative assertions, lacks any live or proximate connection to the purported grounds of detention and is thus devoid of any legal or factual justification\u2026
\n\u201cSuch arbitrary exercise of preventive powers amounts to a gross abuse of authority, striking at the core of constitutional liberties and due process, rendering the detention order liable to be vitiated by this court,\u201d it said.The plea said that it is wholly preposterous that after over three decades of being recognised at the state, national, and international levels for his contributions to grassroots education, innovation, and environmental conservation in Ladakh and across India, Wangchuk would suddenly be targeted.She said the unfortunate events of violence in Leh on September 24 cannot be attributed to the actions or statements of Wangchuk in any manner.Wangchuk himself condemned the violence through his social media handles and categorically stated that violence would lead to the failure of Ladakh\u2019s \u201ctapasya\u201d and peaceful pursuit of five years, his wife said, adding that \u201cit was the saddest day of his life\u201d.
\nWangchuk was detained under the stringent National Security Act (NSA) on September 26, two days after violent protests demanding statehood and Sixth Schedule status for Ladakh left four people dead and 90 injured in the Union territory. The government had accused him of inciting the violence.
\nThe NSA empowers the Centre and states to detain individuals to prevent them from acting in a manner \u201cprejudicial to the defence of India\u201d. The maximum detention period is 12 months, though it can be revoked earlier.<\/p>\n
