ORDER

(Order of the Court was made by S.M.SUBRAMANIAM, J.)

The preventive detention order passed by the second respondent dated 04.10.2024 is sought to be quashed in the present habeas corpus petition.

2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, as well as the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondents.

3. The impugned detention order has been issued based on four adverse cases and the ground case.

4. The four adverse cases relied on were registered in the year

2019, 2021, 2022 and 2023 and have no proximity with the ground case. The ground case is a case of attempt of murder on account of certain personal disputes. Such nature of cases can be dealt with by the Police Authorities under the ordinary law. Therefore, we are of the considered opinion that the element of likelihood of causing breach of public order is missing and the subjective assessment as made by the detaining Authority is not in consonance with the provisions of the Act 14 of 1982.

5. Hence, for the aforesaid
