AMANULLA KHAN K.K. PATHAN vs STATE OF GUJARAT — W.P.(Crl.) No. 71/1999

The Supreme Court dismissed the petition and upheld the detention of Amanulla Khan under the Gujarat Prevention of Anti-Social Activities Act, 1985. The Court found that the detaining authority properly considered multiple incidents (not a single isolated act) demonstrating habitual extortion activities against construction business owners, satisfying the "dangerous person" definition. The Court also rejected arguments that the activities were mere criminal law violations unrelated to public order, holding that activities causing widespread fear and affecting the even tempo of society constitute public order disturbances justifying detention.
