Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the detention order under Section 3(1) of the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act, 1974, against Inderjeet Singh and Varinder Singh for smuggling gold bars. The Court clarified that the Advisory Board is not obligated to furnish the entire record of representations to the government, and the absence of such obligation does not render the detention illegal. The appeals against the High Court's dismissal of writ petitions challenging the detention were rejected, affirming the legality of the detention order.
