Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the detention of Rajinder Nirula under Section 3(1) of the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act, 1974, despite the argument that the detention was based on a single incident. The Court established that a valid detention order can be based on a single incident if it is sufficient to form an opinion regarding future activities. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that the detention did not suffer from infirmities as claimed by the appellant.
