body1990
Judgment :- VENKATASWAMI, J. In all these cases, the common point raised is, whether the detention order in each one of the cases is sustainable, in view of the fact that the grounds of detention do not contain any compelling necessity for detaining the detenu in each case. This point has been dealt with, in the lignt of the recent decision of the Supreme Court reported in Dharmendra Suganchand Chelawat v. Union of India, : 1990 CrLJ 1232 ), in W.P. Nos. 11348 to 11351 of 1989 dated 14-3-1990. The learned counsel for the respondents has not disputed this position. Accordingly these writ petitions are allowed. The respondents in each of the writ petitions are directed to release the detenu in each case, forthwith unless the detention of the detenu in each case is required in connection with in any other case.
