The petition was filed on the plea that no ground existed for the order of detention passed against the detenu under section 3(1) of the Punjab Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance, 1960. To support his contention the petitioner has appended certificate of good conduct of the detenu issued by Nazim Union Council 36, Tehsil Nazim, President Zillaee Anjuman-e-Arhtian, and 17 members of the locality.
2. In view of this submission, a notice was directed to be issued to respondent No.2 to submit report and parawise comments with particular reference to the basis upon which the impugned order of detention has been passed. The comments were filed on behalf of respondent No.1 wherein, it was asserted that Federal Government has banned certain Religious Organizations and it was in pursuant of the said act that the petitioner was ordered to be detained. According to the comments it was as per the report of the local police that the detenu was detained as there was sufficient material against him. On 5-6-2002 the learned A.A.-G. Was asked to report about the basis upon which the report of D.P.O. Was made.
3. The learned A.A.-G. Is assisted by Muhammad Iqbal, S.-I./S.H.O.
4. No sufficient material has been brought on the record to justify the detention under section 3(1) of the Ordinance of 1960. The ground mentioned in the impugned order is not substantiated in the case of detenu.
5. In these circumstances this writ petition is accepted and the respondents are directed to release the detenu Muhammad Younas forthwith.
