Detention orders require strict compliance with legal standards, and reliance on outdated offences without current danger is insufficient for justifying detention.
Detention orders require strict compliance with procedural safeguards, and insufficient evidence undermines the justification for categorizing an individual as a dangerous person.
Detention orders require a clear nexus between past offences and current threats to public order, with strict adherence to legal standards for justifying detention.
Detention orders must be based on verified evidence and proper consideration of a petitioner's rights, failing which they are deemed illegal.
Detention orders must be based on sufficient material demonstrating a disturbance to public order; otherwise, they cannot be sustained.
Preventive detention requires clear evidence linking the detenu to alleged crimes, and mere allegations do not justify detention unless they threaten public order.
Illegal detention orders must comply with strict legal standards regarding public order.
Preventive detention lacks justification if ordinary laws suffice to address the alleged misconduct, emphasizing the importance of subjective satisfaction by the detaining authority.
Preventive detention orders must be based on sufficient material demonstrating a threat to public order, and arbitrary or capricious exercise of power renders such orders illegal.
