MUTHIAH ALIAS MUTHUSAMY Vs. STATE OF TAMIL NADU

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE petitioner herein has been detained on the ground as under:

(2.) A detention order under Sec.3(1) of the Tamil Nadu Prevention of Dangerous Activities of Bootleggers, Drug Offenders, Forest Offenders, Goondas, Immoral Traffic Offenders and Slum Grabbers Act, 1982 (Tamil Nadu Act No.14 of 1982) has been made on Thiru Muthiah alias Muthusami son of Chitravel, male aged 20/90, Suruli Street, B.Meenakshipuram, Uthamapalayam Taluk, Madurai District vide Order C.M.P.No.9 of 1990 dated 15.6.1990.

(3.) I am satisfied that on the materials mentioned above, if Thiru Muthiah alias Muthusami is left to remain at large, he will indulge in further activities prejudicial to the maintenance of public order and further the recourse to normal law would not have the desired effect of effectively preventing him from indulging in activities prejudicial to the maintenance of public order and therefore I consider it is necessary to detain him in custody with a view to prevent him from acting in any manner prejudicial to the maintenance of public order."
