Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the detention of Yumman Somendro under the National Security Act, 1980, affirming the subjective satisfaction of the detaining authority as valid under Section 3(4) of the Act. The Court distinguished the case from Rekha Vs. State of Tamil Nadu, emphasizing that the detaining authority had sufficient material to justify the detention based on the likelihood of the detenu being released on bail. The appeal against the High Court's decision was dismissed, confirming the legality of the detention order.
