Gitanjali J. Angmo, wife of Sonam Wangchuk, filed a habeas corpus petition challenging his detention under the National Security Act following violent protests in Ladakh.
The petition alleges illegal detention, lack of communication, and improper invocation of the NSA, calling attention to potential violations of due process.
Wangchuk, a prominent climate and educational activist, has sparked national debate over civil liberties and the treatment of activists in Ladakh, with the Supreme Court set to hear the case after Dussehra.
