Orders
The Gujarat High Court quashed the preventive detention order against Suresh @ Chhotu Devrajbhai Mankeshwar, holding that the offences cited (assault and prohibition-related charges) constitute mere disturbances of law and order, not public order. The court reasoned that under the Gujarat Prevention of Anti-social Activities Act, 1985, detention requires proof that activities adversely affect public order at the community level, and the applicant's acts did not create insecurity or panic among the public, thus failing to meet the legal threshold for preventive detention. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
