In a significant legal move, former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti approached the J&K High Court, urging for the transfer of undertrial prisoners to local jails from facilities across India.
The plea questions the rationale behind their prolonged detention outside J&K, comparing their situation with high-profile criminals granted bail or parole. Mufti stressed the emotional toll on families unable to visit or support legal battles.
She requested a humanitarian review over technical judgment while recommending financial aid for affected families and judicial oversight. The court's decision is awaited in the next hearing.
