Akthar was among dozens of mainstream politicians taken into custody last year, just before the Centre revoked special status of Jammu and Kashmir and divided the erstwhile state into two union territories on August 5, 2019.
He was booked under stringent Public Safety Act (PSA) in February this year.
Akhtar was released in June after Jammu and Kashmir authorities revoked his detention under the PSA. He was subsequently placed under house arrest.
