Whereas, the detention order was passed on 10.06.2016.

2.

On the said date, learned Government counsel appearing for respondents submitted that vide G.O.Rt.No.605, dated 09.03.2016, the Government have delegated powers to the Commissioner of Police and the District Collector and three months, thereafter, the Government might have issued another G.O. delegating powers of detention to the authorities mentioned above. However, he was unable to produce it before this Court on the said day. Accordingly, the hearing was adjourned to this date. 3.

Today, learned counsel appearing for respondents has produced G.O.Rt.No.605, dated 09.03.2016, whereby, it is stated that the Government, in exercise of powers conferred under sub-section (2) of Section 3 of the Telangana Prevention of Dangerous Activities of Bootleggers, Dacoits, Drug Offenders, Goondas, Immoral Traffic Offenders and Land Grabbers Act, 1986, extended the period to exercise powers by all the Collectors and

SKK, J & GSP, J W.P.No.37387 of 2016 District Magistrates and the Commissioners of Police, Hyderabad, Cyberabad and Warangal, if satisfied with respect to any Bootlegger, Dacoits, Drug Offenders, Goondas, Immoral Traffic Offenders and Land Grabbers, to make an order directing that such person be detained with a view to prevent them from acting in any manner prejudicial to the maintenance of the public order within the local limits of their respective jurisdictions, for a further period of three months from 21.03.2016 to 20.06.2016.

4.

Thus, G.O.Rt.No.605, dated 09.03.2016 is applicable with effect from 21.03.2016 to 20.06.2016, whereas, the detention order was passed on 10.06.2016, well within the period during which the said G.O. was in force. Hence, we find no ground to interfere with the impugned order of detention. 5.
