flag Supreme Court blocks preventive detention under Telangana Goonda Act unless specific public order threat is proven.

flag The Supreme Court ruled that preventive detention under the Telangana Goonda Act cannot override bail or serve as a substitute for criminal proceedings, emphasizing that authorities must prove a specific threat to public order, not just fear of future crimes. flag The court quashed the detention of Roshini Devi and Aruna Bai, both facing multiple NDPS cases, stating that mere registration of offenses or apprehension of reoffending is insufficient. flag It stressed that preventive detention must be reserved for exceptional circumstances involving clear, imminent risks to public order, not speculative concerns. flag The decision reinforces constitutional safeguards against arbitrary detention and requires detaining authorities to provide specific, recorded justifications for their actions.
