Gautam Jain vs U.O.I.& Anr

The Supreme Court examined the validity of a detention order under Section 3(1) of the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act, 1974, which was challenged on the grounds of non-supply of documents. The Court upheld the High Court's ruling that the principle of segregation of grounds under Section 5A of the Act was applicable, allowing the detention to stand despite the failure to provide documents related to one ground. The Court concluded that the detention order was sustainable based on remaining grounds, affirming the High Court's decision.
