"textContent": "The High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh has quashed the controversial PSA detention of Doda East MLA Mehraj Din Malik, ordering his immediate release. In a detailed 87-page judgment, the court ruled that the administration's use of the stringent preventive law over a local health centre dispute was an illegal “shortcut,” emphasizing that ordinary criminal proceedings cannot be bypassed for standard law-and-order issues.",
