DHANANJOY DAS vs DISTRICT MAGISTRATE & ANR.

The Supreme Court held that under Article 22(5) of the Constitution, a detenu must be informed of the grounds for detention, which must be relevant and not vague. The Court found that the introductory paragraph in the grounds of detention did not constitute a valid ground, as it failed to provide necessary particulars for the detenu to make an effective representation. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision, as the detention order did not violate the rights of the detenu under the National Security Act, 1980, specifically Section 3(3).
