The order deals with the scope of judicial review in a detention order passed under the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act (COFEPOSA). It cites relevant Supreme Court precedents clarifying that the court's role is limited to scrutinizing whether the detaining authority applied its mind and had sufficient grounds for preventive detention, without substituting its own satisfaction. The detenu is entitled to copies of documents relied upon for detention but not all documents mentioned. The detaining authority must consider the detenu's representation expeditiously. Typographical errors in the consideration order do not vitiate the decision unless prejudicial. In the present case, substantial materials like statements under the Customs Act, seizure of gold, currencies implicating the detenu justified the detention order under COFEPOSA. The court found no merit in the writ petition and dismissed it.
