“In view of the non-appearance of Gowhar Nazir Geelani after serving notice upon him under section 107 and 151 CrPC on February 3, you (SHO Heerpora Shopian) are directed to arrest and produce the above said person (Geelani) before this court on 19/02/2022 in order to maintain peace and public tranquillity in the jurisdiction of this court,” reads the order by the Executive Magistrate 1st Class Shopian.

An official associated with prosecution said that Gowhar had been evading appearance and as such his order of arrest to produce him was passed by the court.

About two weeks the Shopian Court had summoned the journalist over activities having security concerns.
