The contentions raised are also identical. All these writ petitions have been filed for the issue of a habeas, for the production of the respective detenus, before this Court, for their being set at liberty, after quashing the impugned orders of detention dated 15-2-1991 passed by the second respondent, viz., the District Magistrate and Collector, Pudukkottai. In all these writ petitions the affidavits have been sworn to by one T. S. Mani, who claims himself to be the fiends of the detenus. He has further averred, that he has filed these writ petitions on the instructions and the facts furnished by the respective detenus.

Further details in the activities of the LITE, need not have to be stated, for the disposal of these Writ Petitions.
