The petitioner, Anil Punjabi, challenged a detention order under the Maharashtra Prevention of Dangerous Activities of Slumlords, Bootleggers, Drug-offenders, Dangerous Persons, Video Pirates, Sand Smugglers, Persons Engaged in Black-Marketing of Essential Commodities, Illegal Gambling, Illegal Lottery and Human Trafficker Act, 1981. The detention order was based on a solitary crime, and the petitioner argued that the detaining authority failed to consider his release on bail in connection with the same crime. The court considered the petitioner's arguments and the submissions of the learned APP. The court found that the detaining authority's failure to consider the bail order and other grounds raised by the petitioner were worth consideration. The court relied on the judgment of the Hon'ble Apex Court in Joyi Kitty Joseph Versus Union of India and Ors.
