High Court of Gujarat Judgments

Kishan Bhupatbhai Ulva challenged a detention order issued under the Gujarat Prevention of Anti-social Activities Act, claiming it lacked sufficient grounds to justify his detention. The court found that the authority had not demonstrated how Ulva's alleged activities as a bootlegger posed a threat to public order, especially since he had been granted bail in related criminal cases. Consequently, the court quashed the detention order, emphasizing the need for substantial evidence in preventive detention cases.
