The State Of Bombay vs Atma Ram Sridhar Vaidya on 25 January, 1951
It appears to us that ground no. 2 is extremely vague.
Ground no. 2 states "You have become a menace to the society
and there have been disturbances and confusion in the lives
of peaceful citizens of Baraset and Khardah P.S. areas
under 24-Parganas District and the inhabitants thereof are
in constant dread of disturbances of public order." It is
manifest that this ground is extremely vague and gives no
particulars to enable the petitioner to make an adequate
representation against the order of detention and thus
infringes the constitutional safeguard provided under Art
22 ( 5 ) Reference may be made in this connection to the
decision of this court in the state of Bombay v. Alma Ram
ion of this Court in The State Sridhar Vaidva(1) in which
Kania of Bombay v. Atma Ram C.J. observed as follows:

Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia vs State Of Bihar And Others on 7 September, 1965
The argument was, however, stressed by Mr. Mukherjee on
behalf of the respondent that the other grounds, viz., (c)
and (d) mentioned in the order of the District Magistrate
dated January 20, 1968 are more serious in character and
may be held prejudicial to public order. We shall assume in
favour of the respondent that grounds (c) and (d) are
matters prejudicial to: public order. But even upon that
assumption the order of detention must be held to be
illegal. It is now well-established that even if any one of
the grounds or reasons that led to the satisfaction is
irrelevant, the order of detention would be invalid even if
there were other relevant grounds, because it can never be
certain to what extent the bad reasons operated on the
mind of the authority concerned or whether the detention
order would have been made at all if only one or two good
reasons had been before them.--(See the decisions of this
Court in Shibban Lal Saksena v. The State of Uttar
Pradesh(1) and Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia v. State of Bihar(2).
For these reasons we hold that the order of detention
made by the District Magistrate, Howrah under s. 3(2) of the
Act dated January 20, 1968 against petitioner Subhas Chandra
Bose alias Kanta Bose and the consequent order made by the
Governor dated March 30, 1968 confirming the order of
detention under s. 11 (1 ) of the Act must be declared to be
illegal and accordingly the petitioner. Subhas Chandra Bose
alias Kanta Bose is entitled to be released from custody
forthwith.
