Shabna Abdulla vs Union Of India

The Supreme Court upheld the detention order under Section 3 of the Conservation of Foreign Exchange & Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act, 1974 (COFEPOSA) against Abdul Raoof, affirming the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition challenging the order. The Court emphasized that the right to be supplied with relevant documents under Article 22(5) of the Constitution is crucial, but found that the detention was justified based on the evidence of smuggling activities. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the legality of the detention order and its subsequent confirmation by the Central Government.
