ORDERV.S. Sirpurkar, J.1. Challenge is to the order dated 24.7.2002 passed by the second respondent, District Collector and District Magistrate, Kancheepuram, ordering the preventive detention of one Kasi, S/o Kutti on the ground that he is a bootlegger and that his continued liberty would hamper the public order.2. Learned counsel for the petitioner, Mr. Swamidoss Manokaran, raises only two points assailing the correctness of the order as well as the detention. Firstly, he points out that the detention seems to have been ordered casually, even without reference to the existing facts. For this, the learned counsel takes us through the grounds of detention, and more particularly ground 5(ii), wherein the detaining authority has stated as follows:-'He was ordered to be remanded till 26.07.2002. He has not filed any bail application so far in the court. But there is a possibility of his filing of a bail application and being enlarged on bail by the criminal court. I am also aware that in ...
