Nasima Khatun v. State of Tamilnadu Rep.By,

ORDER (Order of the Court was made by N.Sathish Kumar J.) This Habeas Corpus Petition has been filed by to quash the order of detention passed by the 2nd respondent in C.No.210/G/IS/2025, dated

22.12.2025.

¶2We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for respondents. We have also perused the records submitted by the detaining authority.

3.Though several grounds have been raised by the petitioner in the habeas corpus petition assailing the detention order, in the hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner mainly focussed his argument on the ground that the detenu has been supplied with Volume I and II of Booklets and in page No.20 of the Vol.I, which is an arrest warrant, it was stated that the contents of the order was read over and explained in Hindi by one Suman, who known the Hindi language to Page2 of 5 the detenu. However, in the seal affixed therein, it is seen that a Translator, namely, Paramasivan had put his signature above the seal, as the order was read over by him and explained in Hindi to the detenu. Thus, the detention order is vitiated and the same is liable to be quashed.

4.The said submission made by learned counsel appearing for the petitioner has not been disputed by learned Government Advocate.

¶5In view of the above, we are inclined to set aside the impugned detention order.

6.In the result, the Habeas Corpus Petition is allowed and the order of detention passed by the 2nd respondent in C.No.210/G/IS/2025, dated

22.12.2025 is set aside. The detenu, namely, MD Danish Sha, aged 22 years, S/o Shamim Sha is directed to be released forthwith unless his detention is required in connection with any other case. (N.S.K.,J.) (K.R.S.,J.) 13-08-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order MST Page3 of 5 To
