MPDA Act | Non-Consideration of Bail Order and Lack of Live Link to Public Order Vitiates Preventive Detention : Bombay HC

Bombay High Court quashed a preventive detention order under the MPDA Act, ruling that failure to consider a bail order and absence of a live link to public order render detention unlawful. The judgment underscores that preventive detention cannot be invoked for isolated criminal acts unless they disrupt community tranquility, reinforcing procedural safeguards under constitutional rights.
