The Supreme Court allowed seven writ petitions under Article 32 on the ground of total non-application of mind by the detaining authority, the District Magistrate of Udhampur. The detention orders were found to be based on a verbatim reproduction of a police dossier without proper consideration. The detaining authority did not take into account that the petitioner was already in custody in connection with a criminal case. The court directed the release of the petitioners unless they were wanted in connection with other cases.
