STATE OF TAMIL NADU vs BASKAR

The Supreme Court held that the Detention Order dated 2nd August 1999 was not vague, as it clearly outlined the actions of the accused, including armed threats and public terrorization. The Court found that the High Court's quashing of the Detention Order was unjustified, as it failed to specify what additional details were necessary. However, since the period of detention had expired by the time of the appeal, the Court ruled that the detenu should not be required to surrender for any remaining detention period, thereby disposing of the appeal without costs.
