Two writ petitions were filed before the Madhya Pradesh High Court at Jabalpur by Rajendra Thakur @ Chhotu and Rajesh Thakur @ Bhaiya, challenging their preventive detention ordered by the District Magistrate, Jabalpur on 6 January 2026 under the National Security Act, 1980, subsequently extended twice for three months each. The petitioners argued that the detention order was based on incorrect facts, as the District Magistrate wrongly showed numerous cases as pending trial when the petitioners had in fact been acquitted in sixteen of those cases by competent courts, and only nominal fines were imposed in three others. The court found that the sequence and identical timing of communications from multiple police officers on the same day, combined with the District Magistrate's order incorrectly listing acquitted cases as subjudice, demonstrated a clear non-application of mind. The judgment text as provided ends before the final order is recorded, but the court's analysis strongly indicated that the detention order was founded on a wrong premise and factually incorrect information.
