Orders
The Gujarat High Court quashed the preventive detention order against Shankarbhai Solanki, holding that the alleged offences (three criminal cases) lacked nexus to "public order" maintenance as required under the Gujarat Prevention of Anti-social Activities Act, 1985. The court distinguished between "law and order" disturbances and "public order" violations, ruling that mere incidents of beating or bootlegging activities affecting specific individuals do not constitute grounds for preventive detention unless they create widespread insecurity or panic affecting the community at large, and directed his immediate release. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
