JAMMU, Feb 1: High Court has upheld the detention order passed by Divisional Commissioner Jammu along with the proceedings conducted under Section 3 of the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substance Act 1988 whereby Daljeet Singh of Kathua placed under detention.
While dismissing the petition, justice Mohan Lal observed, “the petitioner has been involved in many criminal activities and against him five FIRs have been registered in different police stations in District Kathua”, adding “from the bare perusal of the FIRs and the allegations therein against the petitioner, it is discernable, that the petitioner is a hardcore criminal, has become a terror figure among the people of the area, the actions taken against him under ordinary law from time to time have not been proved to be deterrent”.
“It seems that petitioner detenue instead of mending his ways has continuously been indulging in criminal activities and has not shown any respect for the law of the land, as such, the petitioner/detenue has created a sense of alarm, scare and a feeling of insecurity in the minds of the public of the area”, High Court said.
