    Case Summary 2026:JHHC:10405-DB | Jharkhand High Court The High Court dismissed a writ petition challenging preventive detention orders under the Jharkhand Control of Crimes Act, 2002. The court upheld the detention of petitioner Bhikhan Ganjhu for 12 months (in three-month installments), finding him a habitual offender based on 64 criminal cases involving murder, extortion, and violations of Arms Act and UAPA. The court rejected arguments that the initial 12-month recommendation violated statutory limits, clarifying that section 12(2) requires the *State Government* (not District Magistrate) to pass initial 3-month orders, with extensions permissible thereafter. The court also held that prior acquittals/bail in some cases don't negate detention when evidence shows persistent criminal conduct threatening public order. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
