In<br \/>\nthe copies of the statements of the witnesses supplied to<br \/>\nthe detenu, the detaining authority has kept blanks at<br \/>\nthe material places with a view to see that the identity<br \/>\nof   the witnesses is not disclosed to the detenu.<br \/>\nHowever,in the grounds of detention supplied to the<br \/>\ndetenu,   the detaining authority has given material<br \/>\nparticulars about the witnesses. The detaining authority<br \/>\nhas given the material particulars as regards the date,<br \/>\nthe time, the locality and the particular places where<br \/>\nthe incidents took place. The detaining authority has<br \/>\nalso stated with whom and for what purpose the detenu had<br \/>\ngone to the place of the witness, or at which places the<br \/>\nwitnesses met him, and has stated the specific reasons<br \/>\nfor which the witnesses were beaten. In my opinion, all<br \/>\nthese details virtually disclose the identity of the<br \/>\nwitnesses to the detenu.      On one hand the detaining<br \/>\nauthority has claimed     privilege   and   invoked   the<br \/>\n provisions of section 9 (2) withholding the identity of<br \/>\nthe witnesses and, on the other hand ,it has given<br \/>\nmaterial particulars apparently disclosing the identity<br \/>\nof the witnesses.     Thus, in my opinion, the power<br \/>\nexercised    by   the  detaining authority of claiming<br \/>\nprivilege under section 9 (2) of the said Act is not<br \/>\ngenuine.   In other words, the said power has been<br \/>\nexercised without application of mind and mechanically.<br \/>\nBy disclosing such material particulars indicating the<br \/>\ntotal identity of the witnesses , the detenu was denied<br \/>\nhis right of making an effective representation against<br \/>\nhis detention guaranteed under Article 22 (5) of the<br \/>\nConstitution    of India and therefore, the continued<br \/>\ndetention of the detenu has become illegal and is<br \/>\nvitiated.\n<\/p>\n<p>In the result this petition is allowed. The order<br \/>\nof detention dated 5-1-1996 is quashed and set aside. The<br \/>\ndetenu Raju alias Rajesh alias Kaliyo Babubhai Nayka is<br \/>\ndirected to be set at liberty forthwith if his detention<br \/>\nis not required for any other purpose. Rule is made<br \/>\nabsolute accordingly with no order as to costs.\n<\/p>\n<p> ::::::::::\n<\/p>\n<p> True copy\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court Whether Reporters Of Local Papers &#8230; vs Mr Ur Bhatt on 5 September, 2011 Author: Kshitij R.Vyas, IN THE HIGH COURT OF GUJARAT AT AHMEDABAD SPECIAL CIVIL APPLICATION No 3720 of 1996 For Approval and Signature: Hon&#8217;ble MR.JUSTICE K.R.VYAS ============================================================ 1.
