For Petitioner(s): Mr.N.Selvakumar For Respondent(s): Mr.C.R.Malarvannan, Counsel for Government of Tamil Nadu (Criminal Side) ORDER (Order of the Court was made by Sunder Mohan J.) The wife of detenu - Mohamed Kasim, S/o.Kadhar Mohaideen, aged 43 years, has filed this petition challenging the detention order dated 26.09.2025, branding him as a ‘Goonda’ under Section 2(f) of the Tamil Nadu Preventive Detention Act, 1982 (Act 14/1982). 2. We have heard learned counsel for petitioner and learned counsel for Government of Tamil Nadu (Criminal Side) for respondents. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis HCP No. 2341 of 2025 __________ 3. Though several grounds have been raised, we are of the view that the detention order is liable to be quashed on the ground that the satisfaction of the detaining authority as regards the real possibility of the detenu coming out on bail suffers from non-application of mind. 4. In the grounds of detention, the detaining authority has stated that the detenu had filed the bail application in C.M.P.No.1292 of 2025 before the Principal Sessions Judge, Ranipet and the same was dismissed on 23.09.2025; that he had filed a bail application before this Court in Crl.OP.No.26842 of 2025 and the same is pending; and that in a similar case, bail was granted by this Court in Crl.OP.No.23533 of 2023 on 12.10.2023. 5.The detaining authority ought to have seen whether the facts in the bail order relied upon by him was comparable to the facts of the instant case. In the order relied upon by the detaining authority, the accused therein was granted bail because he had no previous case, whereas, in this case, the detenu has two adverse cases. Therefore, the https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis HCP No. 2341 of 2025 __________ reliance placed by the detaining authority on the said order, vitiates his subjective satisfaction as regards the possibility of the detenu coming out on bail. Hence, the detention order is liable to be quashed. 6. In light of the aforesaid discussion, this Habeas Corpus Petition is allowed and the Detention Order passed by the second respondent in B3/D.O.No.85/2025 dated 26.09.2025, is set aside. 7. The detenu, viz., Mohamed Kasim, S/o.Kadhar Mohaideen, aged 43 years, who is now confined in Central Prison, Vellore, is hereby directed to be set at liberty forthwith unless his presence is required in connection with any other case.
