Basant,J.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
     The petitioner has come to this Court with this writ petition<\/p>\n
under Art.226 of the Constitution to issue directions to restrain<\/p>\n
the respondents from executing an order of detention allegedly<\/p>\n
passed against him under Sec.3 of the Kerala Anti-Social<\/p>\n
Activities (Prevention) Act, 2007 (hereinafter referred to as `the<\/p>\n
KAAPA’).\n<\/p>\n
     2. The petitioner asserts that an order of detention has<\/p>\n
been passed categorizing him as a ‘known rowdy’ falling within<\/p>\n
the ambit of the expression under Sec.2(p) of the KAAPA. Three<\/p>\n
cases are allegedly relied upon to issue such order of detention<\/p>\n
against him under Sec.3 of the KAAPA. The first crime relied on<\/p>\n
is the one registered, inter alia, under Sec.308<\/p>\n
W.P.(C) No. 9377 of 2010 -: 2 :-<\/span><\/p>\n
IPC on the basis of Ext.P1 FIR i.e., Crime No.289\/06 of the<\/p>\n
Sakthikulangara Police Station in Kollam District. The second<\/p>\n
crime on which reliance is placed is the one registered as Crime<\/p>\n
No.42\/08 of the Sakthikulangara Police Station in Kollam District<\/p>\n
for offences punishable, inter alia, under Sec.308 read with<\/p>\n
Sec.149 IPC.       The third crime which is relied on by the<\/p>\n
respondents against the petitioner is Ext.P2 crime i.e., Crime<\/p>\n
No.233\/09 of the Sakthikulangara Police Station in Kollam<\/p>\n
District registered under Secs.323 and 324 read with Sec.34<\/p>\n
IPC. Final reports have been filed in these crimes. It is the<\/p>\n
submission of the petitioner that an order of detention has been<\/p>\n
passed and the said order of detention under Sec.3 of the KAAPA<\/p>\n
is likely to be executed against him at any moment.     According<\/p>\n
to the petitioner, such order of detention is not valid, legal and<\/p>\n
enforcible. He hence prays that the extraordinary constitutional<\/p>\n
powers of this Court under Art.226 of the Constitution may be<\/p>\n
invoked to issue appropriate directions to restrain the<\/p>\n
respondents from executing the said order under Sec.3 of the<\/p>\n
KAAPA.\n<\/p>\n
      3.   The learned Government Pleader, on behalf of the<\/p>\n
respondents, does not dispute the fact that an order of detention<\/p>\n
has been passed under Sec.3 of the        KAAPA reckoning the<\/p>\n
W.P.(C) No. 9377 of 2010 -: 3 :-<\/span><\/p>\n
petitioner as a ‘known rowdy’ under Sec.2(p) of the KAAPA.<\/p>\n
The learned Government Pleader does not also dispute the fact<\/p>\n
that the said order of detention takes into account the three<\/p>\n
crimes referred to by the petitioner in this writ petition.<\/p>\n
      4. Exts.P1 and P2 as also the FIR in the second case i.e.,<\/p>\n
Crime No.42\/08 of the Sakthikulangara Police Station have been<\/p>\n
perused by us.     There can be no doubt that these are cases<\/p>\n
falling within the sweep of Sec.2(t) of the KAAPA.      The learned<\/p>\n
counsel for the petitioner submits that though the cases fall<\/p>\n
within the sweep of the offences covered by the expression<\/p>\n
‘rowdy’ in Sec.2(t) of the    KAAPA, the petitioner cannot be<\/p>\n
reckoned as a known rowdy and no order of detention is liable to<\/p>\n
be passed against him. He contends that under the third proviso<\/p>\n
to Sec.2(p) of the KAAPA, Ext.P1 crime cannot be taken into<\/p>\n
reckoning to include the petitioner as a known rowdy. So far as<\/p>\n
the second crime i.e., Crime No.42\/08 is concerned, the<\/p>\n
argument is that it was basically a traffic accident; no serious<\/p>\n
injuries were suffered by the victim and anticipatory bail had<\/p>\n
been granted by this Court to the petitioner. So far as the third<\/p>\n
case is concerned i.e., Ext.P2 Crime i.e., Crime No.233\/09, the<\/p>\n
argument is that the injuries are simple and that cannot be<\/p>\n
reckoned as relevant for the purpose of including the petitioner<\/p>\n
W.P.(C) No. 9377 of 2010 -: 4 :-<\/span><\/p>\n
within the sweep of the expression ‘known rowdy’.<\/p>\n
      5.  We shall carefully avoid any detailed discussion on<\/p>\n
merits, lest such discussions may adversely affect the right of the<\/p>\n
petitioner to assail the order of detention in accordance with law<\/p>\n
after his detention.   The crucial question to be considered now<\/p>\n
is whether the constitutional powers of this Court under Art.226<\/p>\n
of the Constitution deserve to be invoked prior to the execution<\/p>\n
of the order of detention under Sec.3 of the KAAPA.<\/p>\n
      6. The law on this point is well settled.     The Supreme<\/p>\n
Court in Addl. Secretary, Government of India v. Alka<\/p>\n
Subhash Gadia<\/a> (1992 Supp (1) SCC 496) had enumerated the<\/p>\n
circumstances under which a pre-execution challenge against an<\/p>\n
order of preventive detention can be considered by the court.<\/p>\n
Later, in the decision in Deepak Bajaj v. State of<\/p>\n
Maharashtra (AIR<\/a> 2009 SC 628), the question has been<\/p>\n
considered again and more liberal standards have been applied.<\/p>\n
      7. There can be no doubt that this Court under Art.226 of<\/p>\n
the Constitution can certainly exercise the extraordinary<\/p>\n
constitutional jurisdiction to interfere with and set aside the<\/p>\n
order of detention even at the pre-execution stage.       On that<\/p>\n
question of law, there is and there can be no doubt at all.    The<\/p>\n
short question is whether the instant case can be brought under<\/p>\n
W.P.(C) No. 9377 of 2010 -: 5 :-<\/span><\/p>\n
any one of the pigeonholes stipulated in Alka Subhash Gadia<\/p>\n
(supra) as explained later in Deepak Bajaj (supra) to justify the<\/p>\n
invocation of such jurisdiction.  Deepak Bajaj (supra) does, of<\/p>\n
course, lay down more liberal standards for invocation of such<\/p>\n
constitutional powers under Art.226 of the Constitution against<\/p>\n
an order of preventive detention.\n<\/p>\n
      8. We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner in<\/p>\n
detail. We have taken into reckoning the nature of the challenge<\/p>\n
which the petitioner wants to raise against the impugned order<\/p>\n
of detention. Even taking the most liberal view permissible in<\/p>\n
the light of the decision in Deepak Bajaj (supra), we are not<\/p>\n
persuaded to agree that such power to entertain a pre-execution<\/p>\n
challenge against the impugned order of detention can, need or<\/p>\n
deserve to be invoked.    We do not intend to express any final<\/p>\n
opinion on the contentions raised by the learned counsel for the<\/p>\n
petitioner referred above. Suffice it to say that we do not find<\/p>\n
merit in the contention that the petitioner does not deserve to be<\/p>\n
included as a known rowdy under the definition of that<\/p>\n
expression in Sec.2(p) of the KAAPA.\n<\/p>\n
      9. We do accordingly dismiss this application; but we make<\/p>\n
it clear that we have not intended to express any authentic and<\/p>\n
final opinion on the possible grounds of challenge later when the<\/p>\n
W.P.(C) No. 9377 of 2010 -: 6 :-<\/span><\/p>\n
Advisory Board or the Government considers the representations<\/p>\n
of the petitioner.     No observations in this judgment shall<\/p>\n
influence or restrain such authorities.    We need only mention<\/p>\n
that we have only taken the view that a pre-execution challenge<\/p>\n
against the impugned order of detention need not and cannot be<\/p>\n
entertained.\n<\/p>\n
     10. This writ petition is accordingly dismissed.<\/p>\n
     11. Hand over a copy of this judgment to the learned<\/p>\n
counsel for the petitioner.\n<\/p>\n
