The Supreme Court on Tuesday adjourned to January 29 the hearing of a plea filed by Gitanjali J Angmo, the wife of jailed climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, against his detention under the National Security Act. Angmo told the court on Monday that the detaining authority had not applied his mind and relied on irrelevant material while detaining her husband. The plea claims that the detention is illegal and an arbitrary exercise, violating Wangchuk's fundamental rights. On October 29, the court sought responses from the Centre and the Ladakh administration on an amended plea of Angmo.
