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. The Court held that the principle of segregation of grounds under Section 5A is applicable only when multiple grounds exist; if the detention is based on a single ground, the failure to provide complete documents related to that ground renders the detention order invalid. The Court overturned the High Court's decision, emphasizing the necessity of providing all relevant documents to the detainee.
