STATE OF RAJASTHAN vs SATYA NARAYAN SINGH

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 made by the detenue, as it was processed expeditiously within a reasonable timeframe. The Court clarified that the reliance on a co-accused's confessional statement did not violate the detenue's rights since it was not the basis for the detention, which was primarily founded on the detenue's own confession. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
