Headnote | Maharashtra Prevention of Dangerous Activities of Slumlords Bootleggers and Drug Offenders Act, 1981: Section 3(1)-Detention order-Purpose of detention-Distinction between breach of 'law and order' and disturbance of 'public order' -Facts of each case-Courts to scrutinise carefully-Detention ordered for more than three months at the first instance-Order-Whether vitiated. With a view to check transportation or illicit liquor, the Police were maintaining a watch and the speeding car driven by the detenu, husband or the appellant/petitioner was signalled to stop. Instead, the detenu accelerated the car and drove straight towards the Police party. They had to jump on to the root path to save themselves. The detenu hurled abuses and threatened to kill the Police Officers. He kept on driving the car recklessly, dashed against a pedestrian thereby injuring him. Ultimately the car collided with a stationary taxi and stopped. The Police rushed to apprehend the detenu and two others in the car, but they jumped out or the car and escaped. Police seized the motor car and recovered illicit liquor there From. A police case was registered against the detenu and two other unknown persons For offences under Sections 307, 324 read with Section 34 IPC. The detenu made himself scarce and could not he arrested immediately. However, after a few days he was arrested and he admitted the incident including his escape. He was produced before the Magistrate and was released on bail on the condition that he should report to the police daily. Since the detenu Failed to carry out the condition, bail was cancelled and he was taken into custody. The detenu then moved the Sessions Court against the cancellation or his bail, which was admitted and he was granted bail. During the investigation or the case, Police could record statements from four witnesses, who deposed only on condition of anonymity as they feared retaliation from the detenu. The detaining authority on being satisfied that the detenu was likely to indulge in activities prejudicial to the maintenance of 'public order' passed an order of detention and the grounds of detention were served on the detenu. The said order was confirmed by the State Government on the report of the Advisory Board. The wife of the detenu challenged the detention order before the High Court. The High Court having dismissed the Writ Petition she has filed the present appeal by special leave, as also a Writ Petition before this Court, challenging the detention order passed against her husband. On behalf of the appellant/petitioner, it was argued that the activities of the detenu had no impact on the public and therefore could not be said to have disturbed the even tempo of the society and as such his detention for acting in a manner prejudicial to the 'public order' was unjustified. It was further contended that Section 3(2) or the Maharashtra Prevention of Dangerous Activities of Slumlords, Bootleggers and Drug Offenders Act, 1981 prohibited the State Government to make an order of detention in the first instance, exceeding three months, and since in the present case the detention order was for more than three months, it was invalid. |
