[06/06, 12:30] sekarreporter1: Jayachandran J: We have to see whether there is an abuse of power. Whether there was a colourable exercise of power. The liberty of an individual is predominant. The spirit of the constitution is superior than your ego

[06/06, 12:31] sekarreporter1: Jayachandran J: I’m sad. Court should behave like a court. We should give a quietus to this. We’re dealing with the fundamental rights of a person and optimal utilisation of power under preventive detention.
