    Summary The Gujarat High Court quashed a preventive detention order against Sagar Patni under the Gujarat Prevention of Anti-social Activities Act, 1985, holding that the alleged offences (two criminal cases for which bail was granted) do not constitute acts prejudicial to "public order" but merely relate to "law and order." The court reasoned that mere disturbance of law and order is insufficient for preventive detention; the activities must create widespread insecurity or panic affecting the community at large, which was not established here. Accordingly, the court directed the detainee's immediate release. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
