The release comes two days before her daughter Iltija Mufti’s petition challenging her illegal detention to be heard in Supreme Court was set to expire.
National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah and vice-president Omar Abdullah have filed habeas corpus petitions before the J&K High Court, seeking the ‘release’ of 15 senior party members from detention, but the J&K administration has clearly told the court that not one of them is under detention.
The National Conference of Farooq Abdullah is expected to clear the air on the participation of its party, three of whose members, have been nominated to the delimitation commission by the Centre.
