The Supreme Court held that under Section 3(1)(a)(ii) of the Preventive Detention Act, 1950, the grounds for detention must be clearly stated, including the object of detention as per Section 3 and the particulars required by Section 7. The Court found that the High Court erred in conflating the objects of detention with the grounds, but ultimately upheld the detention order as the grounds provided were not ambiguous or irrelevant to public order. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the legality of the detention.
