THE STATE OF MANIPUR vs BUYAMAYUM ABDUL HANAN @ ANAND

The Supreme Court addressed appeals against the High Court of Manipur's decision to set aside detention orders under the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1988. The court found that the appellants failed to provide legible copies of the documents relied upon for the detention, which was a violation of due process. Consequently, the court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming the release of the respondent due to the expiration of the detention period.
