The HC quashed the preventive detention order against the Petitioner for smuggling of gold in contravention of the Customs Act. The detaining authority passed the impugned order mechanically without applying mind, violating natural justice principles. The authority's observation that the Petitioner was likely to be released from judicial custody lacked material, as the Petitioner's bail applications were already dismissed twice by the Rajasthan HC. The authority failed to demonstrate any imminent possibility of the Petitioner's release to justify the detention order. There was substantial delay in considering the Petitioner's representation. Consequently, the HC set aside the detention order dated 12.04.2024 and confirmation order dated 18.06.2024.
