justice saghir ahmad and public safety Act

Justice syed saghir Ahmad was a fine judge,honest capable and fearless.He was polite and soft spoken.He was transferred from Allahbad high court to j&;k high court as a judge and later on appointed chief justice.
During those days i had the privilege of being Advocate General of the state.Asiya Andrabi had been detained under the provisions of Public Safety Act.The detention had been quashed twice but as usual after release she would be arrested again.It was case related to third detention which was heard by Justice Ahmad.Before announcing the judgment in the court he called me to his chamber.unusually he was not courteous but even rude,although he treated me like his brother.He loved me so much that he would himself cook Biryani for me.
I was surprised to see a different justice saghir,he started,'Mr Advocate general,do u think we are jokers,why don't you lock the courts,twice earlier detention of this lady is quashed,yet she is in jail,i am quashing it again and i want orders implemented,if orders are not implemented i will resign'
From press reports it appears Asiya is again under detention and her detention has been quashed several times ,is there no justice saghir around?

  2. sadly everyone in Kashmir is hostage to circumstances . The government does a tight rope balancing its shady political interest and its national responsibility . The judiciary dispenses justice as per laws which are antiquated . The police force torn between its loyalty to uniform and the sufffering of the people . The armed forces with the sole aim of locating and neutralising the terrorist ...and the terrorist who would like to use the cover of the unwitting common man to strike at the state . Its a macabre puppet show .
    The sole sufferer is the common man .
