The State Of Tamil Nadu & Anr vs Glory

The Supreme Court quashed the detention order dated 15th May 1999 under the Tamil Nadu Prohibition Act, holding that the detaining authority failed to apply its mind regarding the detenu's bail status after being arrested in a prior adverse case on the same day. The Court emphasized that without evidence of the detenu being released on bail, the detention order was vitiated due to non-application of mind. Consequently, the detention order was deemed unlawful and was set aside.
