Allahabad HC drops NSA charges against Dr Kafeel Khan; directs immediate release

The Allahabad High Court on Tuesday set aside the detention of Dr Kafeel Khan under the National Security Act (NSA) and ordered his release. While allowing the writ petition filed on behalf of Dr Khan and setting aside the order of detention, the Division Bench of Chief Justice Govind Mathur and Justice Saumitra Dayal Singh said, "We are having no hesitation in concluding that neither detention of Dr. Kafeel Khan under National Security Act, 1980 nor extension of the detention are sustainable in the eye of law."
