Earlier, the court heard the arguments from Public Prosecutor and defence counsels before announcing the judgment to release the detenues, who were detained on different occasions for their alleged involvement in separatist movement. The detenues included Zia-ul-Islam, Gowhar Hussain Dar, Mohammad Ramzan, Sartaj Ahmad and Bilal Ahmad. UNI
