NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear on Thursday a petition filed by Geetanjali Angmo, wife of Ladakhi social activist Sonam Wangchuk, challenging his detention and seeking his release.
Earlier this week, the apex court questioned the Centre regarding the accuracy of the translated transcripts of speeches attributed to the jailed climate activist.
On Monday, the court directed that the original pen drive supplied to Wangchuk at the time of his arrest in September 2025 be produced before it by Thursday.
The direction came on the penultimate day of hearings in the plea filed by Angmo, who has contended that her husband’s detention suffers from procedural lapses.
She has argued that Wangchuk was not properly informed of the grounds of his arrest and that his speeches delivered over the past few years have been misrepresented to suggest that he incited the violence in September last year, which resulted in four deaths and injuries to hundreds.
