    Summary The Karnataka High Court dismissed a habeas corpus petition challenging the preventive detention of Manjunatha under the 1985 Goondas Act. The court found that the detention order was properly served with grounds and supporting documents (contrary to petitioner's claims), that there was sufficient proximate nexus between the detainee's criminal activities and detention, and that the detainee's pattern of serious crimes (murder, attempted murder, assault) while on bail justified preventive detention to maintain public order. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
