According to the writ petition the petitioner is an active member of the Muslim Majlis and also a member of the Youth Majlis. He was arrested while defying the order promulgated under s. 144, Cr. P.C. This had been preceded by the various Prejudicial activities in the month of May, 1972 as stated in the grounds of detention and was followed two days later by communal clashes. This agitation was carried an in connection with a bill relating to the Aligarh Muslim University ignoring that the legal position in respect of this University had been authoritatively settled by this Court as far back as October, 1967 in S.
