Overview
- Justices Aravind Kumar and N. V. Anjaria took the amended petition on record, gave the Centre and Ladakh 10 days to reply, and allowed a rejoinder before the Nov. 24 listing.
- Wangchuk has been held in Jodhpur Central Jail since his Sept. 26 detention under the National Security Act after protests in Leh turned violent on Sept. 24.
- The amended plea alleges a 28‑day delay in supplying the full grounds of detention and late disclosure of key videos, arguing this crippled his representation before the NSA Advisory Board.
- The petition also challenges reliance on five FIRs, several from 2024 and many not naming Wangchuk, calling them stale and lacking a proximate link to the September unrest.
- The Leh administration maintains the order was lawfully issued and says grounds were communicated within time, as an NSA Advisory Board held a three‑hour jail hearing with Wangchuk and his wife present.
