ORDERM. Karpagavinayagam, J.1. The petitioner is the wife of the detenu. By the order, dated 9.9.2004, the detenu has been detained by branding him as 'Bootlegger'. Mr. Sathish Babu, learned counsel for the petitioner, would contend that the Order of detention would suffer from grave illegality on the ground that there is no mention about the awareness of the detaining authority that on the date of detention order, the detenu was in remand.2. We have heard the learned Additional Public Prosecutor on this aspect. On going through the grounds of detention, it is clear that the detaining authority would only mention that the remand period was extended on 13.8.2004 and 27.8.2004. There is no material referred to by the detaining authority in the grounds of detention that by the Order of extension, dated 27.8.2004, the detenu has been remanded upto 9.9.2004, the date on which the detention Order was passed. Curiously, the remand order, dated 13.8.2004, has been placed before the detaining a...

ORDERP.D. Dinakaran, J.1. The petitioner challenges Section 14(1)(b)(iv), 14(1)(c) and 14(1)(d) of the Wakf Act as unconstitutional.
