SAFIYA vs GOVERNMENT OF KERALA .

The Supreme Court held that the detention of T.P. Moideen Koya under Section 3(i)(iv) of the COFEPOSA Act, 1974 was invalid due to the reliance on statements from a co-detainee, Mohammed Mustaffa, whose detention was revoked by the Advisory Board. The Court emphasized that the detaining authority must consider all relevant facts, including the revocation of Mustaffa's detention, before issuing a detention order. The appeal was allowed, overturning the High Court's decision that upheld the detention order.
