Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of a habeas corpus petition challenging the detention of R. Sreenivasulu under the A.P. Forest Act, 1967, and IPC Sections 378 and 120B. The Court found that the detenue was involved in multiple instances of illegal felling and smuggling of red-sanders, justifying the Collector's detention order. The judgment reinforced the legality of preventive detention in cases involving serious environmental crimes.
