The Union Government on Wednesday told the Supreme Court that it has no objection to Ladakh activist Sonam Wangchuk sharing the notes he has prepared to challenge his detention with his wife, Dr Gitanjali Angmo. Taking note of this submission, the Court adjourned the petition filed by Angmo challenging Wangchuk’s detention under the National Security Act (NSA) to October 29, after her lawyer, Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal, sought permission to amend the petition to include additional grounds and reliefs.
During the hearing before Justices Aravind Kumar and NV Anjaria, Sibal said that Wangchuk had been stopped from sharing his notes with his wife. “He has made certain notes on the detention which he wanted to pass to the lawyer for his wife. Whatever notes he prepares, he is entitled to the assistance of the lawyer. All that we want is that the notes be passed,” Sibal told the bench, report Live Law and Bar & Bench.
