The Gujarat High Court quashed the preventive detention order of Kishan Sureshbhai Naydu dated 02.03.2026 under the PIT-NDPS Act, finding that a single NDPS offence does not constitute grounds for detention as it affects only "law and order" rather than "public order." The court held that mere disturbance of law and order is insufficient for preventive detention unless activities demonstrably threaten the entire community's peace and security, and directed the detenue's immediate release if not required in other cases. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
