The Supreme Court heard a habeas corpus petition filed by Gitanjali J. Angmo, wife of Ladakh-based activist Sonam Wangchuk, challenging his detention under the National Security Act (NSA). Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, representing Angmo, argued that the detention order was vitiated due to procedural lapses and the suppression of material evidence, specifically a speech made by Wangchuk appealing for peace. Sibal contended that this speech, which aimed to quell violence, was deliberately withheld from the detaining authority, leading to a flawed detention order. He further argued that Wangchuk was not provided with the complete grounds of detention and was denied a proper opportunity to make a representation. The court was presented with and viewed a video of Wangchuk's speech, which Sibal presented as evidence of his client's commitment to non-violence. The Ladakh administration, in its affidavit, maintained that Wangchuk's detention was warranted due to his alleged role in inciting unrest. The hearing is ongoing, with further arguments scheduled for January 12, 2026. This case highlights the legal challenges surrounding preventive detentions and the importance of due process and the supply of all relevant materials to the detained individual. The outcome will have implications for the rights of individuals detained under the NSA. The matter is being heard by a bench comprising Justices Aravind Kumar and Prasanna B Varale.
