Supreme Court questions Centre over Sonam Wangchuk NSA detention
The Supreme Court on Monday sought answers from the Central government regarding the detention of climate activist Sonam Wangchuk under the National Security Act (NSA). The bench, comprising Justices Aravind Kumar and NV Anjaria, questioned why Wangchuk’s wife, Gitanjali J Wangmo, was not informed of the reasons behind his detention in advance.
Wangmo has filed a plea stating that she has not been allowed to meet her husband since his detention on September 26, which followed recent Ladakh clashes.
The court issued notices to the Centre, Jammu & Kashmir administration, and the Rajasthan government, seeking their response. The matter is scheduled for hearing on October 14, 2025.
The Supreme Court’s intervention highlights concerns over procedural transparency and family rights in cases of detention under national security laws, emphasizing the need for prompt communication with relatives.
The case has drawn attention to the broader debate over the use of NSA, human rights, and the rights of individuals in conflict-affected regions such as Ladakh.
