HC seeks more info from petitioner in illegal detention case
A bench of the Telangana High Court comprising Justices Abhishake Reddy and J Sridevi requested more information from petitioner Kalid Abdi Harbir Nur, a Somalian who had come before the court to protest the unlawful detention of his friend Hussein Anwar Hussein, a Yemeni national. The petitioner demanded his friend’s immediate release and alleged that task force officers had imprisoned him for a week. Appearing for Nur, his attorney Rizwan, told the court that the detenue was picked up without being arrested or placed in detention.
According to the police, a detention order issued by the Hyderabad Civil Authority and Foreigners Regional Registration Officer (FRRO) led to the arrest of Hussein and transfer to the Central Crime Station. According to the counsel appearing for the government, Hussein was detained under the Foreigners Act for engaging in criminal activity. However, the counsel for the petitioner said that the detenue was unlawfully held since October 27 before the detention order’s effective date of November 3. The bench will continue hearing the case on Thursday.
