The petitioner seeks to<br \/>\nchallenge the said order by this petition under Article<br \/>\n226 of the of Constitution of India.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.The   grounds of detention indicate that the<br \/>\npetitioner has been branded as a boot-legger.        The<br \/>\ndetaining   authority   has considered four registered<br \/>\noffences against the detenu under the Bombay Prohibition<br \/>\nAct.    The   detaining authority has also considered<br \/>\nstatements of two anonymous witnesses and recorded a<br \/>\nsatisfaction that powers under Section 9(2) of the Act<br \/>\nare required to be exercised in larger public interest.<br \/>\nThe detaining authority recorded a satisfaction that the<br \/>\npetitioner is required to be immediately prevented from<br \/>\npursuing his illegal and anti-social activities and<br \/>\nresorting to less drastic remedy under ordinary law is<br \/>\nnot possible as immediate prevention is necessary and<br \/>\ntherefore, passed the order in exercise of powers under<br \/>\nSection 3 of the PASA Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.Learned Advocate Mr.    Raval submitted that last<br \/>\nregistered offence is of 14.4.2001, whereas the order is<br \/>\npassed on 26.7.2001 i.e. after a period of more than 3<br \/>\nmonths and 12 days and the live-link between the activity<br \/>\nof the petitioner and the order is snapped.   The second<br \/>\nfold of contention of Mr. Raval is that the detaining<br \/>\nauthority has exercised the power under Section 9(2) of<br \/>\nwith-holding the name of the anonymous witnesses without<br \/>\nany basis. He submitted that the satisfaction recorded<br \/>\nby the detaining authority about the genuineness and<br \/>\ncorrectness of the fear expressed by the witnesses qua<br \/>\nthe    detenu  is recorded without undertaking proper<br \/>\nexercise. The verification is done in a mechanican<br \/>\nmanner as a formality. The exercise of power therefore<br \/>\nhas infringed the right of the petitioner guaranteed<br \/>\nunder Article 22(5) of the Constitution of India and the<br \/>\ncontinued detention of the detenu therefore would be<br \/>\nillegal.    He therefore urged that the petition may be<br \/>\nallowed and the impugned order may be quashed and set<br \/>\naside.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.Learned AGP Mr.   D.P.   Joshi   has   opposed   this<br \/>\npetition.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.Having regard to the contentions raised, at the<br \/>\nout-set it would be noted that there is no material to<br \/>\nindicate that the detaining authority has undertaken<br \/>\nproper exercise of verification of the fear expressed by<br \/>\nthe anonymous witnesses qua      the   detenu  and   its<br \/>\ngenuineness.   There is nothing to indicate that any<br \/>\n exercise except calling the witnesses was undertaken by<br \/>\nthe authority.    As observed by this Court in Bai Amina<br \/>\nw\/o Ibrahim Abdul Rahim Alla Vs.      State of Gujarat,<br \/>\nreported in 1981 GLR 1186, the authority is expected to<br \/>\nconsider the general background, character, antecedents,<br \/>\ncriminal tendency or propensity, etc. of the detenu and<br \/>\nsuch of those matters as are relevant in the context of<br \/>\nthe   informant must be enquired into and carefully<br \/>\nexamined by the detaining authority with a view to<br \/>\nsatisfying itself that the alleged apprehension is not<br \/>\nimaginary or fanciful or that it is not merely an empty<br \/>\nexcuse invented by the informant, inter alie, to protect<br \/>\nhimself against the falsity of his version being exposed<br \/>\nby an effective explanation of the detenu or to hide his<br \/>\nown involvement or to conceal his enmity with the detenu.<br \/>\nIn this regard, decisions in the case of Kajalben G.<br \/>\nSindhi Vs. Commissioner of Police, Ahmedabad, reported in<br \/>\n2000 (2) GLR 1296 and Israil @ Israr Pahelvan Nazirahmed<br \/>\nShaikh Vs. State of Gujarat &#8211; 2001 (1) GLR 306 can be<br \/>\nprofitably be employed.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.1In order to meet with this requirement, the<br \/>\ndetaining authority would be required to undertake a<br \/>\nfurther exercise in addition to examining the anonymous<br \/>\nwitnesses.    There is nothing to indicate that such an<br \/>\nexercise is undertaken.     A witness who has      stated<br \/>\nsomething before the sponsoring authority is bound to<br \/>\nstick to his version before the detaining authority when<br \/>\nhe is summoned for verification, but what is stated by<br \/>\nhim is correct and genuine or not can be tested only<br \/>\nafter his version is cross-checked through other sources<br \/>\nby undertaking further exercise. That having not been<br \/>\ndone, the subjective satisfaction cannot be said to have<br \/>\nbeen recorded on the basis of any material and therefore,<br \/>\nthere is improper exercise of power under Section 9(2) of<br \/>\nthe PASA Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.So far as the registered offences are concerned,<br \/>\nthey relate to 21st of Nov. 2000, 25th March, 2001 and<br \/>\n14th April, 2001. The order is passed on 26th July, 2001<br \/>\nand as such the live-link between the activity and the<br \/>\norder can be considered to have snapped as the order is<br \/>\npassed after more than 3 months. The satisfaction of the<br \/>\nauthority about continuation of illegal activity by the<br \/>\ndetenu therefore cannot be       considered as   genuine<br \/>\nparticularly when the statements cannot be relied upon<br \/>\nfor the reasons discussed above.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.For the reasons stated hereinabove, the petition<br \/>\ndeserves to be allowed and the same is allowed. Order of<br \/>\ndetention dated 26.7.2001 passed by the Commissioner of<br \/>\n       Police, Ahmedabad City is quashed and set aside. Detenu<br \/>\n      Parul @ Parvatiben widow of Ambalal Maganbhai Mena<br \/>\n      (Lodha) be released from detention forthwith, if not<br \/>\n      required in any other case.  Rule made absolute.     No<br \/>\n      costs. Direct service permitted.\n<\/p>\n<p>(A.L.Dave,J.)<\/p>\n<p>*\/Mohandas\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court Special Civil Application No. &#8230; vs Unknown on 2 August, 2011 Author: A.L.Dave, IN THE HIGH COURT OF GUJARAT AT AHMEDABAD SPECIAL CIVIL APPLICATION No 6621 of 2001 For Approval and Signature: Hon&#8217;ble MR.JUSTICE A.L.DAVE ============================================================ 1.
