Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the detention order under the Karnataka Prevention of Dangerous Activities of Boot-Leggers, Drug Offenders, Gamblers, Goondas, Immoral Traffic Offenders and Slum Grabbers Act, 1985, specifically under Section 3(2) and Section 3(3). The Court ruled that the Detaining Authority's subjective satisfaction was valid despite the detenu's claims regarding the impact on public order and the non-supply of certain documents. The High Court's dismissal of the habeas corpus petition was affirmed, establishing that the Detaining Authority's role continues until the State Government's approval is granted.
