A Single 2024 NDPS Case Did Not Touch Public Order: Gujarat High Court Quashes PIT-NDPS Detention
Gujarat High Court

The Gujarat High Court quashed a woman's preventive detention under the PIT-NDPS Act, ordered on 16.10.2026 and carried out on 25.10.2026 (paras 1, 10). The grounds of detention cited a single NDPS case dated 30.04.2024 (para 7). Relying on the Supreme Court's ruling in Piyush Kantilal Mehta, the Division Bench held that one case had no bearing on public order and that the detaining authority's subjective satisfaction was not legal (paras 8-9).
