The opinion

MANDERINO, Justice

(dissenting).

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).
