The Court heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and<br \/>\nlooked into all the materials available including the order under challenge.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t3.  Pursuant to the recommendation made by the sponsoring authority that<br \/>\nthe detenu was involved in three adverse cases viz., Crime No.27\/2006 under<br \/>\nSections 8(c) r\/w 20(b)(ii)(A) NDPS Act 1985 registered by B 15 Madhichiam<br \/>\nPolice Station; Crime No.908\/2006 under Sections 8(c) r\/w 20(b)(ii)(A) NDPS Act<br \/>\n1985 registered by E2 Madhichiam Police Station; Crime No.1046\/2007 under<br \/>\nSections 8(c) r\/w 20(b)(ii)(A) NDPS Act 1985 registered by E2 Madhichiam Police<br \/>\nStation and in one ground case in Crime No.817\/2008 under Sections 8 C r\/w<br \/>\n20(b)II(B) of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 registered by<br \/>\nE2 Madhichiam Police Station, the detaining authority recorded his subjective<br \/>\nsatisfaction that the activities of the detenu were prejudicial to the<br \/>\nmaintenance of public order and public health and that he should be detained as<br \/>\na &#8220;Drug Offender&#8221; and accordingly, made the order of detention, which is the<br \/>\nsubject matter of challenge before this Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t4. Assailing the order of detention, learned counsel appearing for the<br \/>\npetitioner raised the following grounds:-\n<\/p>\n<p>\t(i) Firstly, the bail application in Crl.M.P.No.510\/2008 filed in the<br \/>\nground case in respect of Crime No.817\/2008 was dismissed by the Special<br \/>\nDistrict and Sessions Court for Essential Commodities and Narcotic Drugs and<br \/>\nPsychotropic Substances Act Cases, Madurai on 27.8.2008. Thereafter, he had not<br \/>\nfiled any bail application either in the ground case or in the adverse cases but<br \/>\nthe detaining authority has stated in its order that there was real possibility<br \/>\nof the detenu coming out on bail.  Such an observation was made without any<br \/>\nmaterial or basis whatsoever. It was only an apprehension in the mind of the<br \/>\ndetaining authority.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t(ii) According to the materials available on record, the detenu was found<br \/>\nin possession of 1.5 kg of ganja at 13.00 hours on 13.8.2008 and he was also<br \/>\narrested according to the prosecution. The case was registered at 15.15 hours in<br \/>\nCrime No.817\/2008. The arrest card was prepared at the place of occurrence,<br \/>\naccording to the prosecution. If to be so, the arrest card should not have<br \/>\ncontained crime number but the arrest card contained crime number. Under the<br \/>\ncircumstances, a clarification should have been sought for by the detaining<br \/>\nauthority but not done so.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t(iii) Thirdly, the detenu was found to be in possession of the contraband<br \/>\nand there were two accused involved in the case and two recoveries were made,<br \/>\naccording to the prosecution. If to be so, two samples should have been taken<br \/>\nbut only one sample was sent for analysis. Under the circumstances, the<br \/>\ndetaining authority should have called for a clarifications but not done so.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t5. The Court heard the learned Additional Public Prosecutor on the above<br \/>\ncontention and paid its anxious consideration on the submissions made.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t6. After hearing the submissions and looking into the materials available,<br \/>\nthe Court has to necessarily agree with the learned counsel for the petitioner<br \/>\nto set aside the order of detention on the three grounds.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t7. On the date when the order came to be passed, there was not even one<br \/>\nbail application filed or was pending before any Court of criminal law. Even<br \/>\nbail application filed in the ground case was also dismissed as stated above.<br \/>\nBut the detaining authority has stated in its order that there was real<br \/>\npossibility of the detenu coming out on bail.  Such an observation was made<br \/>\nwithout any material or basis whatsoever. It was only an apprehension in the<br \/>\nmind of the detaining authority and mere apprehension would not be sufficient to<br \/>\npass an order of detention. To pass such an order, the Act requires a specific<br \/>\nmaterial, which should impel the authority to make such an observation. In the<br \/>\nabsence of such material, making such an observation is without any basis and<br \/>\nhence, the order of detention has got to be set aside.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t8. Insofar as the second ground raised, according to the investigating<br \/>\nagency, when the detenu was found in possession of 1.5 kg ganja at bout 13.00<br \/>\nhours, the arrest card was prepared. The case was registered in the Police<br \/>\nStation at 15.15 hours. Naturally, the crime number could not have found place<br \/>\nin the arrest card but the arrest card contained the crime number, which would<br \/>\ncasts a doubt whether the arrest card would have come into existence as put-<br \/>\nforth by the investigating agency. Under the circumstances, the detaining<br \/>\nauthority should have called for a clarification but not done so.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t9. Equally, when the prosecution came with the story that there were two<br \/>\naccused in Crime No.817\/2008 and two recoveries were made, two samples should<br \/>\nhave been taken but only one sample was sent to analysis. If to be so, the<br \/>\ndetaining authority should have asked for clarification as to what happened to<br \/>\nthe second sample but not done so.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t10. On all the three grounds referred to above, the order of detention has<br \/>\ngot to be set aside.  Accordingly, the order of detention is set aside.  The<br \/>\ndetenu is directed to be set at liberty forthwith unless he is required in<br \/>\nconnection with any other case.   The Habeas Corpus Petition is allowed.\n<\/p>\n<p>asvm<\/p>\n<p>To\n<\/p>\n<p>1.The Commissioner of Police,<br \/>\n Madurai City,<br \/>\n Madurai.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.The State of Tamil Nadu,<br \/>\n rep. by its Secretary to Government,<br \/>\n Government of Tamil Nadu,<br \/>\n Prohibition and Excise Department,<br \/>\n Chennai &#8211; 9.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.The Additional Public Prosecutor,<br \/>\n  Madurai Bench of Madras High Court,<br \/>\n  Madurai.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Madras High Court Kaliswari vs The Commissioner Of Police on 24 April, 2009 BEFORE THE MADURAI BENCH OF MADRAS HIGH COURT DATED: 24\/04\/2009 CORAM THE HONOURABLE MR.
