In the counter filed on the side of the respondents, it is averred to the effect that most of the averments made in the petition are false. The Sponsoring Authority has submitted all the relevant materials to the Detaining Authority. The Detaining Authority, after considering all the relevant materials and other connected papers, has arrived at a subjective satisfaction to the effect that the detenu is a habitual offender and ultimately, branded him as goonda by way of passing the impugned Detention order and the same does not call for any interference and therefore, the Detention Order in question is liable to be quashed and altogether the present petition deserves to be dismissed. 6. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner has contended to the effect that on the side of the detenu, two representations are submitted and the same have not been disposed of without delay and therefore, the Detention Order in question is liable to be quashed. 7. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor has contended that the representations submitted on the side of the detenu are duly disposed of without delay and therefore, the contention urged on the side of the petitioner is liable to be rejected. 8. On the side of the respondents, a proforma has been submitted, wherein, it is clearly stated that in respect of second representation, in between column Nos.7 and 9, 8 clear working days are available and no explanation has been given on the side of the respondents with regard to such delay and the same would affect the rights of the detenu guaranteed under Article 22[5] of the Constitution of India and therefore, the Detention Order in question is liable to be quashed. 9. In fine, this petition is allowed. The Detention Order dated 18.05.2017 passed in BCDFGISSSV No.270 of 2017 by the Detaining Authority against the detenu by name, Anbazhagan, aged 56 years, S/o.Virudhachalam, residing at No.16/9, Malliyam Narasimhan Street, Poonamallee, Chennai - 600 056 is quashed and directed to set him at liberty forthwith, unless he is required to be incarcerated in any other case.
