- High Court
The secure care order under s 26(2) CPMIP Act was quashed because the Judge lacked adequate factual material to conclude secure detention was proportionate or necessary; the court must have clear evidence about alternative supervised/community options and the degree of security required before imposing the most restrictive care option.
