Overview
- Counter Intelligence Kashmir teams on Friday executed court-issued proclamation orders naming Syed Salahuddin and three other accused in a 1996 terrorism FIR and publicly pasted copies at their native locations and residence gates.
- The orders were issued by the Additional Sessions Judge TADA/POTA, Srinagar, under Section 84 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, a 2023 law that allows courts to declare absconders and compel appearance.
- The four named are Syed Salahuddin (also Mohammad Yousuf Shah), Ghulam Nabi Khan (alias Amir Khan), Sher Mohammad (aliases Bahadur/Riaz) and Nasir Yousuf Qadri, all described in the order as evading arrest and legal process.
- The court has directed the accused to appear on July 14, 2026, at 10 a.m., warning that failure to comply will invite further legal measures; the exercise was photographed and videographed by police to document compliance with procedure.
- The move advances a legal strategy to revive long‑stalled proceedings against Pakistan‑based militant leaders who remain beyond Indian custody and underscores challenges in securing their physical arrest despite international designations such as Salahuddin’s 2017 U.S. terrorist listing.
