TN Goonda Act | Reliance on Dissimilar Bail Orders Vitiates Preventive Detention for Non-Application of Mind : Madras HC
Madras High Court quashed a preventive detention order under the Tamil Nadu Goonda Act, ruling that the detaining authority's reliance on bail orders from dissimilar cases demonstrated non-application of mind, violating constitutional safeguards under Article 22. The judgment reinforces that preventive detention cannot be mechanically justified by unrelated judicial orders.
