1. Present writ of habeas corpus is filed challenging the order of detention passed by the 2nd respondent in No.REV02-MGSTOLWOD/39/2023-MAGCCLA dated 24.07.2023, as confirmed by the 1st respondent in G.O. Rt. No.1847 dated 19.09.2023.

Procedural irregularities and failure to consider the likelihood of the detenu being released on bail rendered the detention order illegal and unsustainable.
Preventive detention orders must consider all relevant material, including granted bail orders; failure to do so renders the detention invalid.
Non-consideration of relevant material, such as bail orders, can render a detention order illegal.
Preventive detention valid despite bail if authority aware of custody and provides cogent reasons for release likelihood and prejudicial risk; absent here due to non-similar case reliance.
