The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of a Habeas Corpus Petition challenging the detention of Ganapathy under preventive detention laws. The Court found no delay in the disposal of the representation, noting that it was handled expeditiously within a reasonable timeframe. Additionally, the Court clarified that the reliance on a co-accused's confessional statement did not violate the detenue's rights, as the primary basis for detention was the detenue's own confession.
