The learned Government Pleader further conceded that the ratio in the said order squarely applies to this case also and that the impugned orders of the detention are liable to be quashed following the said judgment.

In the light of the above submission, the impugned detention orders are set aside and the detenu - Kondappagari Shiva @ Shiva @ K.S. Shiva shall be released forthwith from detention, unless he is required in connection with any other case or crime.

The writ petition is accordingly allowed.
