How long Mehbooba Mufti can be kept in detention? SC asks Jammu and Kashmir administration

New Delhi/IBNS: The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked the Jammu and Kashmir administration for how long former Chief Minister of the valley, Mehbooba Mufti, can be kept in detention, giving two weeks' time to reply on the matter, media reports said.

The top court was hearing Mufti's daughter Iltija's petition against the detention of her mother.

Mufti, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader, has been kept in detention since Aug 5, 2019 when the central government stripped Jammu and Kashmir of special status by abrogating Articles 370 and 35A.

Later Mufti was kept in detention under stringent Public Safety Act (PSA).

In July, her detention under PSA was extended for three months.
