ABDUL RAZAK NANNEKHAN PATHAN vs POLICE COMMISSIONER, AHMEDABAD & ANR.

The Supreme Court quashed the detention order under Section 3(1) of the Gujarat Prevention of Anti-Social Activities Act, 1985, holding that the grounds of detention were vague and lacked material particulars, violating Article 22(5) of the Constitution of India. The Court found no specific instances of criminal acts or threats made by the detenu, rendering the detaining authority's satisfaction unjustified. The judgment emphasized the necessity for clear and precise grounds in detention orders to ensure compliance with constitutional protections.
