Orders
Summary: The Gujarat High Court quashed the preventive detention order against Jawansingh Rawat, finding that bootlegging and prohibition offenses constitute mere "law and order" violations, not threats to "public order" as required under the Gujarat Prevention of Anti-social Activities Act, 1985. The court held that preventive detention is permissible only when activities affect the community at large and create widespread insecurity or panic, not when they affect specific individuals, and directed his immediate release. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
