That impugned order dated 25.01.2007 is<br \/>\nissued by Police Commissioner, Surat in exercise of his powers<br \/>\nconferred under the provisions of section 3 of the Gujarat Prevention<br \/>\nof Anti-Social Activities Act, 1985 (&#8220;PASA&#8221; for short)  on<br \/>\nthe basis that the petitioner was found to be repeatedly indulging in<br \/>\nanti-social activity of bootlegging and an offence being<br \/>\nIII-C.R.No.927 of 2006 under  the <a href=\"\/doc\/790355\/\" id=\"a_1\">Prohibition Act<\/a> was registered on<br \/>\n27.12.2006 against the petitioner in Limbayat Police Station of<br \/>\nSurat.  According to the grounds of detention supplied with the<br \/>\nimpugned order, even as the aforesaid offence was being investigated,<br \/>\nother actions under the <a href=\"\/doc\/790355\/\" id=\"a_2\">Prohibition Act<\/a> were not possible and alcohol<br \/>\nbeing injurious to health, there was likelihood of danger to public<br \/>\nhealth on account of consumption of illicit liquor in which the<br \/>\npetitioner was dealing.  It is further stated that possibility of the<br \/>\npetitioner continuing in anti-social activities could not be denied<br \/>\nand hence it was found to be necessary to detain the petitioner after<br \/>\nconsidering the documents and statements which were relied upon and<br \/>\nsupplied to the petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_2\">2.\t\tEven<br \/>\nas the present petition was admitted on 29.03.2007 and an<br \/>\naffidavit-in-reply of the detaining authority was ready and executed<br \/>\non 25.5.2007, it was submitted to this court and copy thereof<br \/>\nsupplied to the petitioner only on 11.9.2007.  It is stated in that<br \/>\naffidavit, inter alia, that prima facie involvement of<br \/>\nthe petitioner was established in the offence registered against him.<br \/>\n It is further stated: &#8221; Therefore, after carefully<br \/>\nconsidering all the relevant materials placed before me, the facts<br \/>\nand circumstances of the case as well as the legal provisions<br \/>\napplicable to the facts of the case, as I was subjectively satisfied<br \/>\nthat the detenu is a bootlegger as defined u\/s. 2 (b) of the PASA Act<br \/>\nand his anti-social activities have the potential to disturb the<br \/>\nmaintenance of public order and therefore it is necessary to detain<br \/>\nhim immediately with a view to prevent him from acting in any manner<br \/>\nprejudicial to the maintenance of public order, I have passed the<br \/>\norder of detention against the detenu and the same is legal, valid<br \/>\nand proper.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_3\">3.\t\tIn the above facts,<br \/>\nit was sought to be argued on behalf of the respondents that danger<br \/>\nto public health caused by the activity of bootlegging by the<br \/>\npetitioner substantiated the assumption of likelihood of public order<br \/>\nbeing adversely affected and, for that reason, the subjective<br \/>\nsatisfaction about the necessity of preventing the petitioner from<br \/>\nacting in any manner prejudicial to the maintenance of public order<br \/>\nand the impugned order directing his detention were legal and<br \/>\njustified.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_4\">4.\t\tAs<br \/>\nheld by this court in Amarbhai Kanjibhai Nayak v. Commissioner<br \/>\nof Police, Ahmedabad City &amp; Ors. [1993 (3) G.L.R. 2703]<br \/>\nand in <a href=\"\/doc\/702717\/\" id=\"a_3\">Sohanlal Surajaram  Visnoi v. State of Gujarat<\/a>   [2004<br \/>\n(2) G.L.R. 1051], \tsolitary incident of violation of<br \/>\nprohibition law, normally, without anything more, would not be a<br \/>\nproblem to the maintenance of public order and, for such solitary<br \/>\nincident, no person can be detained under the Act.  It was also seen<br \/>\nfrom analysis of the provisions of sub-section (4) of <a href=\"\/doc\/1422776\/\" id=\"a_4\">section 3<\/a> and<br \/>\nthe Explanation appended thereto that the presumption of likelihood<br \/>\nof public order being adversely affected could arise, if danger were<br \/>\ncaused to life or public health, but such danger has to be grave or<br \/>\nwidespread for the mandatory presumption of likelihood of public<br \/>\norder being adversely affected.  In the facts of the present case,<br \/>\nnothing from the material on record could substantiate or justify the<br \/>\npresumption of grave or widespread danger to life or public health<br \/>\nand hence, the presumption of likelihood of public order being<br \/>\nadversely affected could not have been legally availed by the<br \/>\ndetaining authority for the purpose of arriving at a subjective<br \/>\nsatisfaction.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_5\">5.\t\tTherefore,<br \/>\nin the facts and circumstances, the impugned order dated 25.01.2007<br \/>\nof preventive detention is found and held to be unsustainable in law<br \/>\nand set aside with the direction that the petitioner shall be set at<br \/>\nliberty forthwith unless required to be detained in connection with<br \/>\nany other case.  Rule is made absolute accordingly.
