Crl.M.P.No.19708 of 2023 in H.C.P.No.2381 of 2023

(Order of the Court was made by S.S.SUNDAR, J.)
The petitioner has filed this miscellaneous petition seeking to advance the hearing of the above habeas corpus petition from 2nd January, 2024 to any other early date.
2. Heard both sides.
3. It appears that the detention order under the Act 14 of 1982 has been passed against the detenu, the husband of the petitioner herein for organising a protest against the land acquisition proposal for SIPCOT. Prima facie, this Court is unable to find any serious crime done by the detenu. The repeated allegation against the detenu is that he intimidated people for participating in the protest and prevented the willing persons from giving lands for public purpose. The fact remains that the detenu along with several others have organized a protest in a peaceful manner and the same was continuing for more than 100 days. It is in the said context, all these accusations have come.
5. Since this Court finds a motive for victimizing the detenu, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor is directed to produce all the files relating to the acquisition proposal and the public hearings, if any, conducted by the second respondent/District Collector as required under the relevant Act or the proposal and every document/communication right from the day when requisition is made by the Department for which the proposed acquisition process was initiated.
6. Post the H.C.P.No.2381 of 2023 on 4th January, 2024 for counter and disposal. The criminal miscellaneous petition is ordered accordingly.
