Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the externment order against the Respondent under Section 47 of the Delhi Police Act, 1978, affirming that the Respondent's repeated criminal activities posed a danger to public safety. The Court emphasized that the externment was justified due to reasonable grounds for believing the Respondent would engage in further offenses, as outlined in the Act. The Court dismissed the Respondent's claims of false implication, reinforcing the necessity of such preventive measures for community safety.
