Once a confirmatory order of detention is passed under Section 12(1) of the National Security Act, the State Government has no authority to review or extend the order. The detention becomes illegal a....
Point of Law : Court cannot hold that a pre-arrest/pre-detention delay in executing detention order will prejudice detenu in any manner.
Preventive detention orders must comply with procedural safeguards; minor delays in communication do not invalidate detention if confirmed within three months.
