Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the detention order of R. Sreenivasulu under the A.P. Forest Act, 1967, affirming the High Court's dismissal of the habeas corpus petition. The Court found that the detenue was involved in multiple offenses related to the illegal felling and transportation of red-sanders, violating Section 20(1)(c) of the A.P. Act and Section 378 IPC. The Court held that the detention was lawful and necessary to prevent further illegal activities.
