<h1>Legislators clash over preventive detention under Public Safety Act (PSA); calls for one-hour debate and probe</h1> Legislators in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly clashed over the preventive detention of an opposition legislator under the Jammu and Kashmir Public Safety Act (PSA), with calls for a one-hour debate and a probe into whether detention was warranted. Government-aligned members and a speaker's ruling maintained that PSA detentions are administrative actions by divisional commissioners or district magistrates and that matters pending before courts are not admissible for legislative discussion. Critics labeled the PSA a 'black law' and warned of executive overreach if administrative officers can order detention without trial for up to two years; one member urged formation of a committee to review the detention.
