1996 (10) TMI 493 - SC - Indian Laws

Summary

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, set aside the detention order, and quashed it due to the non-consideration of the retraction of the confessional statement by the detenu. The detenu had retracted the statement the day after it was recorded, which was not brought to the notice of the detaining authority. The Court relied on a previous case where a similar situation invalidated the detention order.
