Preventive detention presents another critical challenge to personal freedom. Devendra Bhatt has handled numerous petitions that contest detention orders issued under preventive legislation.

He keeps you informed about each filing, prepares you for possible oral arguments, and advises on supplemental evidence that may strengthen your case.
