Mir Suhail, Addl. Advocate General stated that detenu\u2019s activities were prejudicial to the security of the State as well as the public order. Detaining him would prevent him from indulging in such acts was approved by the Government and the State Advisory Board constituted under Section 14 of PS Act.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">High Court found substance in the arguments of the petitioner. On the point where detenu was not communicated the ground of detention it was found that grounds of detention were in English language and it was not suggested from the file before the Court if the grounds were explained to the detenu in a language understood by him. Thereby, depriving detenu of the right to make representation against the same. Detenu\u2019s constitutional right was infringed as the Detaining Authority failed to mention in the detention order about petitioner\u2019s right to make representation which renders the impugned order invalid. Therefore, impugned detention order was quashed and direction to release the detenu was passed. [Ajaz Ahmad Sofi v.
