Ganesh Motiram Vichare vs M.N. Singh And Ors. on 15 January, 2002
We begin with Smt. Nazma Moiddin Shaikh (2001 Cri LJ 860) (Bom) (supra). A perusal of para 2 of the said decision would show that the detenu Mohiddin Abdul Halim Shaikh was detained under Sub-section (1) of Section 3 Maharashtra Prevention of Dangerous Activities of Slumlords, Bootleggers, Drug Offenders and Dangerous Persons Act, 1981 and the grievance urged before the Division Bench was that in the Hindi translaztion of the grounds of detention the word 'public order' was translated as 'law and or-der'. A perusal of para 7 of the said decision would show that the Division Bench took the view that public order can by no stretch be equated with law and order and therefore the impugned detention order was quashed.
