A Public Interest Litigation has been filed in the Delhi High Court challenging the detention of climate activist Sonam Wangchuk by the Delhi Police during his march to demand 6th Schedule status for Ladakh.
The plea, submitted by Haji Mustafa through Advocate Vikram Hegde, also seeks the release of individuals from the Kargil Democratic Alliance who have been detained at the Singhu Border.
The bench, led by Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela, decided not to hear the matter immediately but agreed to take it up on October 3, 2024, provided the petitioner submits all required documents by 3:30 PM on Tuesday.
The plea demands the release of Wangchuk and others detained alongside him during the “Delhi Chalo Padyatra,” which began from Leh a month ago.
On the night of September 30, 2024, Wangchuk and around 120 others from Ladakh were detained. The march was organized by the Leh Apex Body (LAB) in coordination with the Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA), which has been advocating for the past four years.
Additionally, another plea has been filed seeking permission for the petitioner and others to peacefully enter Delhi for an environmental awareness march, concluding at Rajghat on October 2, 2024.
This petition, filed by Azad through Advocate Kamlesh Kumar Mishra, also requests a writ of certiorari to quash the prohibitory order dated September 30, 2024, issued by the Commissioner of Police, Delhi, which restricts the entry and activities of the marchers.
Both pleas challenge the restrictions and detentions placed on individuals participating in peaceful protests, including those led by Sonam Wangchuk and the Kargil Democratic Alliance.
