    The Gujarat High Court quashed the preventive detention order against petitioner Rohan Karansinh, finding that four criminal cases cited by the detaining authority did not establish prejudice to "public order" as required under the Gujarat Prevention of Anti-social Activities Act, 1985. The court distinguished between "law and order" (broader) and "public order" (narrower, requiring community-wide impact), holding that the alleged offences affected only law and order, not public order, and therefore the detaining authority's subjective satisfaction was legally invalid. The petitioner was directed to be released immediately. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
