Orders
Summary: The Gujarat High Court quashed the preventive detention order against Shravanbhai Thakor, holding that bootlegging activities alone do not constitute grounds for detention under the Prevention of Anti-social Activities Act, 1985. The court found that the alleged offences affected only law and order, not public order, and cited Supreme Court precedent establishing that mere disturbances affecting specific individuals—rather than the community at large—cannot justify preventive detention. The petitioner was ordered to be released immediately. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
