Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the preventive detention order against Anant Singh under the Bihar Control of Crimes Act, 1981, specifically citing Section 12(2) and Section 18. The Court established that a history of serious criminal activity justified the detention, despite the appellant's acquittals in some cases. The Court held that the detention order was valid and not based on stale grounds, and dismissed the appellant's claims regarding the handling of his representations as unfounded.
