Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the preventive detention order under Section 3(1)(i) of the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act, 1974, affirming that the delay in the disposal of the petitioner's representation to the Central Government was adequately explained and did not constitute unreasonable delay. The Court found that the petitioner was provided with sufficient opportunity to contest the detention and that the non-supply of certain documents did not violate his rights under Article 22(5) of the Constitution. The petition was dismissed, affirming the legality of the detention order.
