ANIL @KALI BALDEVBHAI SOLANKI THRO SANJAY BALDEVBHAI SOLANKI vs COMMISSIONER OF POLICE Advocate - null( — SCR.A /3978/2026

The Gujarat High Court quashed the preventive detention order against the petitioner, holding that the detaining authority failed to establish that the petitioner's activities as a bootlegger adversely affected public order as required under the Gujarat Prevention of Anti-social Activities Act, 1985. The court distinguished between mere disturbance of "law and order" and prejudice to "public order," finding that the two criminal cases cited did not create any feeling of insecurity or panic among the public, and therefore did not meet the legal threshold for preventive detention. The petitioner was directed to be set at liberty forthwith. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
