SC takes up Champion Sangma plea against detention

SHILLONG: The Supreme Court has directed the state government to file an affidavit by May 18 in connection with the detention of GNLA chief Champion Sangma under the Meghalaya Preventive Detention Act (MPDA), 1995.
The apex court on Friday issued the directive after hearing a special leave petition filed by Champion challenging his detention under the Meghalaya Preventive Detention Act (MPDA), 1995.
It may be mentioned that  East Garo Hills district administration in  2013 had passed a detention order against Champion under Section 3(1) of the MPDA and fixed the detention period for three years with effect from January 29, 2013.
Champion  then challenged the detention order before a single bench of the Meghalaya High Court of Justice SR Sen. But on June 13, 2013, Justice Sen passed a judgment refusing to interfere with the detention order.
The jailed GNLA leader, however, moved before division bench of the Meghalaya High Court but the writ petition was again dismissed on December 15, 2014, as the court refused to set aside a judgment passed by Justice Sen.
Then Champion filed a special leave petition (criminal), before the apex court challenging the detention order,
Champion Sangma was arrested on July 30, 2012 from Umkrem-Pyrdiwah.
