New Delhi: Sonam Wangchuk’s wife, Geetanjali Angmo, has decided to amend her petition filed in the Supreme Court. Her petition challenges the central government’s decision to detain Sonam Wangchuk under the National Security Act (NSA). The court has scheduled the next hearing for October 29.
A bench of Justices Arvind Kumar and NV Anjaria examined an affidavit filed by the Jodhpur jail superintendent. The affidavit stated that Sonam Wangchuk’s elder brother and his lawyer had met him.
Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, representing Geetanjali Angmo, requested the court that he wanted to amend his petition. He also requested that Sonam Wangchuk be allowed to communicate with his wife in writing. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta did not object to this.
