New Delhi: After detaining advocate and president of Jammu and Kashmir High Court Bar Association, Mian Abdul Qayoom, for around a year under the Public Safety Act, the centre on Wednesday informed the Supreme Court that it is ready to release Qayoom immediately.
However, Qayoom will not be allowed to leave Delhi till 7th of August and is also barred from making any statements to media, as suggested by the apex court.
Centre's response came over the court's order which had asked it to consider to release Qayoom on bail till 6th August after which his period of detention would expire anyway and the government did not intend to extend the detention post the expiry date.
