Srinagar, Sep 17 (KNS): Agha Syed Hassan Al-Musawi Al-Safwi, head of ajman Sharia Shiites Jammu and Kashmir, has knocked the door of the High Court against house arrest.
According to reports he said "I have been under house arrest since August 3, 2019,". I have knocked on the door of the High Court against my unjustified detention. Due to unjustified detention, I am unable to fulfil my religious, national and official responsibilities. It has also had a negative effect on my health.
Agha Syed Hassan's lawyer Sheikh Manzoor told that his client had challenged his "unjustified" detention in a petition filed in the High Court. He said: "The first hearing on the petition was scheduled for Wednesday but I could not present arguments due to bad network. The matter will be heard again in a few days.
Talking about the text of the petition, he said, "In the petition, Agha Sahib has said that he has been detained illegally by the administration." No detention order has been issued by the administration. He further said that due to house arrest he is unable to fulfill his religious, national and official responsibilities. Continuous detention has also had a negative effect on their health.
