    The Gujarat High Court quashed a preventive detention order against Amirbhai Vohra, holding that the detaining authority failed to establish that his alleged activities affected public order as required under the Gujarat Prevention of Anti-social Activities Act, 1985. The court distinguished between disturbances of "law and order" versus "public order," ruling that mere criminal offences (for which bail was granted) do not constitute grounds for preventive detention unless they create insecurity or panic among the public at large. The petitioner was directed to be released immediately. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
