YOGESH @ BALO MUKESHBHAI SINGAL THRO RAMJIBHAI DANABHAI SHINGARKHIYA vs DISTRICT MAGISTRATE Advocate - null( — SCR.A /3939/2026

The Gujarat High Court quashed a preventive detention order against Yogesh Singal, finding that the alleged offences—assault, prohibition violations, and arms violations—constituted mere disturbances of law and order rather than threats to public order, which is the legal threshold required under the Gujarat Prevention of Anti-social Activities Act, 1985. The court held that activities affecting only specific individuals, even if the accused is a habitual offender, cannot justify preventive detention absent a demonstrable adverse impact on the general community, and directed his immediate release.
