Orders
Summary The Gujarat High Court quashed the preventive detention order against Bhupendrakumar Sharma, holding that cyber offenses under the Information Technology Act do not constitute grounds for detention under the Prevention of Anti-social Activities Act, 1985, as they affect "law and order" but not "public order." The court found no material evidence that the detainee's activities created insecurity or panic among the public, and directed his immediate release. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
