Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the detention order under the National Security Act, 1950, citing violations of Section 10 regarding timely representation and the failure to consider documentary evidence. The Court emphasized that the detenu's right to make an effective representation was compromised due to non-disclosure of intelligence reports and incomplete records provided to the Advisory Board. Consequently, the Court affirmed that the detention was unlawful and ordered its quashing.
