The petitioner Devu Saji, wife of detenue Sijo Sebastian, filed a writ petition before the Kerala High Court under Article 226 of the Constitution seeking a writ of habeas corpus and certiorari to challenge a preventive detention order dated 23.04.2026 passed by the District Magistrate & Collector, Kottayam, under Section 3(1) of the Kerala Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 2007. The petitioner argued that two of the four cases relied upon to classify the detenue as a 'known rowdy' were registered suo motu by police officers and thus could not be counted under sub-clause (iii) of clause (p) of Section 2 of the Act, that the live link between the last prejudicial activity and the detention order was snapped due to delay (bail granted on 10.04.2026, detention order passed on 23.04.2026), and that the detention order mechanically alleged bail condition violations without specifying the conditions or filing a bail cancellation application. The respondents countered that the suo motu cases could still be considered, that the live link was not snapped, and that the detenue's involvement in a fourth crime while on bail demonstrated that bail conditions were insufficient. The judgment text as provided ends mid-analysis while setting out the statutory definitions under the KAA (P) Act, and the final decision of the court is not captured in the supplied text.
