With great power comes great responsibility, the Bombay High Court said while coming down heavily on the district magistrate of Dadra and Nagar Haveli for passing detention orders in a "casual and mechanical" manner and "without application of mind", reported news agency PTI.

According to PTI, a division bench of Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Sharmila Deshmukh in an order passed on April 18, a copy of which was made available on Thursday, quashed three orders of November 2022 passed by the magistrate placing three persons under preventive detention.
