Validity of preventive detention order - allegation of smuggling activities - COFEPOSA - The purpose of detention order is a preventive measure and if the detenu is not served or detained at the earliest possible, keeping in view the spirit of Article 22(5) of the Constitution of India, the purpose is defeated. A sense of urgency needs to be exhibited by the respondents, if the preventive detention order is to be justified. The entire exercise for service of detention order appears to have been undertaken in a casual and cavalier manner, which, in our considered view is fatal to the case of the respondents. - HC
