It is stated that petitioner is head strong person<br \/>\n\tinvolved in bootlegging. It is further recorded that to prevent the<br \/>\n\tpetitioner from committing similar antisocial activities, it is<br \/>\n\tnecessary to place him under preventive detention.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_2\">Counsel for the petitioner,<br \/>\n\thowever, submitted that alleged involvement of the petitioner in<br \/>\n\tcriminal case of prohibition, powers of preventive detention could<br \/>\n\tnot have been exercised. Reliance was placed in the case of<br \/>\n\tAshokbhai Jivraj @ Jivabhai Solanki V\/s. Police Commissioner,, Surat<br \/>\n\t&amp; Ors. reported in 2001(1) GLH 393; wherein Division Bench of<br \/>\n\tthe High Court made following observations.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_3\">\t&#8220;So<br \/>\n far  as  the  cases against the detenu are concerned,<br \/>\n       they have already been registered.    They  were  against<br \/>\n      persons  mentioned  therein    which   is   stated in the<br \/>\n      grounds  of  detention  by   the   detaining   authority.<br \/>\n      Regarding  two  statements, having taken into account the<br \/>\n      law laid down by the Supreme Court in <a href=\"\/doc\/1733535\/\" id=\"a_1\">Ram  Manohar  Lohia<br \/>\n      vs.   State of Bihar<\/a>, AIR 1966 SC 740 and reiterated from<br \/>\n      time to time including the decisions referred  to  by  us<br \/>\n      hereinabove, the case falls under the maintenance of &#8220;law<br \/>\n      and order&#8221;  and  not  &#8220;public  order&#8221;.    The  subjective<br \/>\n      satisfaction  arrived  at  by  the  detaining  authority,<br \/>\n      therefore,  cannot  be  said  to  be  legal, valid and in<br \/>\n      accordance with  law.      Since   in   the   facts   and<br \/>\n      circumstances,  an  order  of  detention  could have been<br \/>\n      passed by the  detaining  authority  for  maintenance  of<br \/>\n      &#8220;public  order&#8221;,  the order deserves to be quashed and is<br \/>\n      hereby set aside.  The detenu is ordered  to  be  set  at<br \/>\n      liberty  forthwith  unless  required  in  any other case.<br \/>\n      Appeal is accordingly allowed.  No order as to costs&#8221;.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_4\">Counsel also relied on unreported<br \/>\n\tdecision of learned single Judge dated 25.10.2005 passed in Special<br \/>\n\tCivil Application No.18901 of 2005; wherein, it was held and<br \/>\n\tobserved as under:\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_5\">&#8220;6.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_6\">\t  In the present case the reliance is only placed upon the solitary<br \/>\n\toffence, without having any basis and dehors the relevant and<br \/>\n\tcredible materials to arrive at a conclusion about disturbance of<br \/>\n\tpublic order by the prejudicial activities of the detenue and<br \/>\n\ttherefore, powers exercised by the authority while passing the order<br \/>\n\tof detention is the result of non-application and the order of<br \/>\n\tdetention requires to be quashed and set aside.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_7\">7.<br \/>\n\tFor the reasons recorded hereinabove, the order of detention dated<br \/>\n\t22.06.2005 passed by the respondent no.2, is hereby quashed and set<br \/>\n\taside. The detenue  Jyotiben Wd\/o. Rameshbhai Morarbhai Koli Patel<br \/>\n\tis ordered to be set at liberty forthwith if she is not required<br \/>\n\tfurther in any other case by any other authority&#8221;.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_8\">Learned<br \/>\n\tAGP opposed the petition contending that order of detention was<br \/>\n\tbased on subjective satisfaction of the authority.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_9\">From<br \/>\n\tthe material on record, I find that except from 2 FIRs filed in<br \/>\n\tSeptember, 2010 alleging offence punishable under Sections 66 etc.,<br \/>\n\tthere are no other cases against the petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_10\">From<br \/>\n\tthe record, I find that admittedly, the petitioner was involved in<br \/>\n\tonly one case of selling illicit liquor. Except for recording of<br \/>\n\tsaid FIR, no other cases are registered against the petitioner. He<br \/>\n\tis not found to be involved in any other criminal activities so far.<br \/>\n\tJudgments referred above would therefore cover his case.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_11\">In<br \/>\n\tview of the above, I am of the opinion that order of detention is<br \/>\n\tbad in law. Petitioner is ordered to be released forthwith if not<br \/>\n\trequired in any other criminal case. Petition is allowed. Rule made<br \/>\n\tabsolute accordingly.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_12\">(AKIL<br \/>\nKURESHI, J.)<\/p>\n<p>(ashish)<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   Top<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court Munjalbhai vs State on 8 February, 2011 Author: Akil Kureshi,&amp;Nbsp;
