STATE OF MAHARASHTRA & ANR. vs SALEM HASAN KHAN

The Supreme Court upheld the externment order under Section 56 of the Bombay Police Act, affirming that the State Government is not required to provide detailed reasons for dismissing an appeal against such orders. The Court reiterated that the nature of externment proceedings necessitates a general disclosure of allegations rather than a detailed judgment-like reasoning, as this could compromise witness safety. The High Court's quashing of the externment order was reversed, maintaining the validity of the original order.
