Further, besides a person being a<br \/>\ndangerous person, her activities should also fall within<br \/>\nthe ambit of expression `public order&#8217;. A distinction<br \/>\nhas to be drawn between the `law and order&#8217;           and<br \/>\n`maintenance of public order&#8217;. A reference may be made<br \/>\nof <a href=\"\/doc\/1496684\/\">M.J.Shaikh V. M.M. Mehta, Commissioner of Police &amp;<br \/>\nOrs.,<\/a> reported in 1995 (2) GLR 1268.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.I have heard learned advocate for the petitioner<br \/>\nat length and also perused the material on record. But<br \/>\nlearned advocate for the petitioner has restricted his<br \/>\nargument on the point that representation has been made<br \/>\nby brother of the petitioner on 20-5-2002 and same has<br \/>\nnot been decided by the authority till 3-6-2002 and,<br \/>\ntherefore, there is a delay.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.In the instant case, it appears that though<br \/>\nrepresentation has been sent on 20-5-2002, it remained<br \/>\nundecided till 3-6-2002. So, there is a delay. The Apex<br \/>\nCourt relying upon a decision of the Constitutional Bench<br \/>\nin K.M.Abdulla Kunhi and B.L.Abdul Khader V.    Union of<br \/>\nIndia, (1991) 1 SCC 476 : (1991 AIRSCW 362), has held in<br \/>\na case of Rajammal Vs. State of Tamil Nadu and another<br \/>\nreported in AIR 1999 S.C. 684 as under:\n<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Detention-Unexplained delay of five days in<br \/>\n        considering      and       disposing      detenu&#8217;s<br \/>\n        representation-Mere absence     of   Minister   at<br \/>\n        Headquarters    not    sufficient     to   justify<br \/>\n        delay-Detention vitiated.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>  It has been further held by the Apex Court in para 9 as<br \/>\n  under:\n<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;The position, therefore, now is that if delay<br \/>\n        was caused on account of any indifference or<br \/>\n        lapse in considering the representation such<br \/>\n         delay will adversely affect further detention of<br \/>\n        the prisoner. In other words, it is for the<br \/>\n        authority concerned to explain the delay, if any,<br \/>\n        in disposing the representation.It is not enough<br \/>\n        to say that the delay was very short.        Even<br \/>\n        longer delay can as well be explained. so the<br \/>\n        test is not the duration or range of delay, but<br \/>\n        how it is explained by the authority concerned.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>5.In   the matter before the Supreme Court in<br \/>\nRajammal (supra), it appeared that there was a delay of<br \/>\nfive days.      For   that also, explanation has been<br \/>\nputforward by the authority that Minister was on tour for<br \/>\na period of two days. Still, Apex Court has stated that<br \/>\nfive days consumed in deciding the representation of the<br \/>\ndetenu is a delay.      Whereas in the present      case,<br \/>\nrepresentation has been made by the brother of the detenu<br \/>\non 20-5-2002 which has not been decided till 3-6-2002.<br \/>\nHence, there is a delay of approximately fourteen days in<br \/>\nconsidering the representation. It is to be noted that<br \/>\nin this case no satisfactory explanation has been put<br \/>\nforward by the respondents. As representation has not<br \/>\nbeen decided by the authority in time, the rights<br \/>\nguaranteed under Article 22(5) of the Constitution of<br \/>\nIndia are violated which make the order of detention<br \/>\nillegal.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.The petition is allowed. The impugned order of<br \/>\ndetention dated 20-4-2002 passed against the detenu<br \/>\nMangalsing Vikramsing Thakur is hereby quashed and set<br \/>\naside. The detenu is ordered to be set at liberty<br \/>\nforthwith, if not required in any other case. Rule is<br \/>\nmade absolute accordingly with no order as to costs.<br \/>\nDirect service is permitted.\n<\/p>\n<p>(R.P.DHOLAKIA,J.)<br \/>\nradhan\/\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court Special Civil Application No. &#8230; vs State Of Tamil Nadu And Another on 26 September, 2011 Author: R.P.Dholakia, IN THE HIGH COURT OF GUJARAT AT AHMEDABAD SPECIAL CIVIL APPLICATION No 5794 of 2002 For Approval and Signature: Hon&#8217;ble MR.JUSTICE R.P.DHOLAKIA ============================================================ 1.
