New Delhi: The Supreme Court has ordered immediate release of Mufti Salman Azhari, a prominent religious scholar, after months of detention under the Prevention of Anti-Social Activities (PASA) Act. The decision comes as a relief to his supporters, who have been vocal in demanding his freedom, reports the Munsif Daily.
Despite repeated objections from the Gujarat government, the apex court dismissed his detention, marking a significant victory for his advocates. Mufti Azhari had already secured bail in three separate cases filed by the Gujarat police, but his continued detention under PASA had kept him in Vadodara jail for the past 10 months.
The ruling has sparked celebrations among his followers, with many viewing the decision as a triumph of justice. Various social and religious organizations that had rallied for his release expressed their gratitude for the court’s judgment.
As Mufti Salman Azhari prepares to resume his religious and social activities, this ruling serves as an important milestone in the ongoing legal battles surrounding his arrest.
His release highlights the challenges faced in balancing legal measures against the rights of individuals, and many now hope for a renewed focus on justice and fairness in similar cases across the nation.
