ORDER :
2. Learned Senior Counsel Sri Sandesh Chouta, appearing for the petitioner submitted that the impugned order does not comply with many of the guidelines issued by a Coordinate Bench of this Court in the case of Smt.

Preventive detention orders must provide all relevant documents to the detenue for effective representation; failure to do so invalidates the detention.
Preventive detention requires clear grounds and sufficient material to justify the detention, ensuring the detainee's right to make an effective representation is upheld.
