1DissentManderino, Justice

I dissent. I cannot agree with the view expressed by the majority that strict construction of the Act is inappropriate. Strict construction of legislation is the only appropriate standard when a citizen’s freedom is sought to be curtailed. I would affirm the order of the Superior Court for the reasons contained in the Superior Court’s opinion. See In re January, 1974, Special Investigating Grand Jury, 231 Pa.Super. 395, 332 A.2d 534 (1975).
