The petitioner, Sushant alias Hari Dinkar Waydande, challenged a preventive detention order dated 2nd March 2026 passed by the District Magistrate, Sangli, under the Maharashtra Prevention of Dangerous Activities (MPDA) Act, 1981, which was subsequently confirmed by the State of Maharashtra on 14th May 2026. The petitioner argued that the detention order was illegal on four grounds: the District Magistrate had initially returned the proposal citing five substantial deficiencies and later approved it without recording fresh subjective satisfaction; there was an unexplained delay of approximately 11 months between the last registered offence (20th March 2025) and the detention order; the order relied on stereotyped and fraudulent witness statements; and the detaining authority failed to record proper subjective satisfaction. The State opposed the petition, contending that subjective satisfaction was duly recorded, the delay was explained, and the petitioner's criminal activities genuinely disturbed public order. The judgment text provided covers the submissions and initial analysis of the four objections but does not include the final operative order or conclusion.
