Summary The Gujarat High Court quashed the preventive detention order against Jignesh Patel, a bootlegger, finding that the detaining authority failed to establish that his activities adversely affected public order as required under the Gujarat Prevention of Anti-Social Activities Act, 1985. The court distinguished between mere "law and order" disturbances (individual incidents) and "public order" violations (affecting the community at large), holding that prohibition offences and isolated beating incidents do not constitute threats to public order, and directed his immediate release.
