    Court Decision Summary The Gujarat High Court quashed the preventive detention order against Ajay Mukeshkumar Ahuja, finding that the detaining authority failed to establish that his alleged bootlegging activities adversely affected or would affect public order. The court held that while the petitioner may face criminal prosecution for specific offences, mere disturbance of law and order is insufficient for preventive detention under the Gujarat Prevention of Anti-social Activities Act, 1985—the alleged activities must demonstrably threaten maintenance of public order affecting the community at large. The court directed the immediate release of the detainee. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
