Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the detention order issued under Section 3(1) and Section 3(2) of the Tamil Nadu Prevention of Dangerous Activities of Bootleggers, Cyber Law Offenders, Drug Offenders, Forest Offenders, Goondas, Immoral Traffic Offenders, Sand Offenders, Sexual Offenders, Slum Grabbers and Video Pirates Act, 1982. The Court found that the detention order was valid despite claims of illegibility of the FIR and lack of communication to the family, as the grounds of detention were sufficiently clear and the procedural requirements were met. The petition challenging the detention was dismissed, affirming the authority's satisfaction in issuing the order.
