Supreme Court blocks preventive detention under Telangana Goonda Act unless specific public order threat is proven.
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.
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.
It stressed that preventive detention must be reserved for exceptional circumstances involving clear, imminent risks to public order, not speculative concerns.
The decision reinforces constitutional safeguards against arbitrary detention and requires detaining authorities to provide specific, recorded justifications for their actions.
