The Jammu and Kashmir High Court Wednesday directed state Government through its Chief Secretary, Home Secretary and DG Police to ensure free movement of MLA Langate ErRasheed.
The incumbent Langate lawmaker had filed a writ petition in the High Court of Jammu & Kashmir accusing state police of violating his fundamental rights and seeking state high courts intervention in the matter for restoration of his rights.
“While additional Advocate General Bashir Ahmad Dar pleaded the case on behalf of Govt, Er Rasheed himself pleaded the case regularly before the Hon’ble High Court,” a statement issued by Rasheed here this afternoon reads.
The order passed by Justice Mohammad Yaqoob Mir stated, “Petitioner being a sitting member of the legislative assembly and a political figure has every right to move throughout the country, particularly in the state of J&K. Therefore, respondents are under legal obligation to ensure that the free movement of the petitioner like other political activities is not curtailed.”
“It is also duty of the respondents to take care of the security concerns if any of the petitioner”.
While welcoming the court order, a spokesperson of Rasheed said that the order is vindication of our stand and expressed the desire that Rasheed will try to reach out to people more effectively in every area of Jammu province, to represent their political sentiments and aspirations.
