The Supreme Court on Thursday declined to interfere with the Allahabad High Court order, quashing the detention of Dr Kafeel Khan under the stringent National Security Act (NSA) and directing the authorities to release him immediately.

A bench headed by Chief Justice S.A. Bobde and comprising Justices A.S. Bopanna and V. Ramasubramanian said the court does not see any reason to interfere with the judgement.
