https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=156587 Pre-execution judicial review of a preventive detention order is confined to narrow, self-imposed exceptions, including cases where the order is under the wrong law, directed against the wrong person, issued for a wrong purpose, based on vague or irrelevant grounds, or made without authority. Mere delay in passing or executing the order does not by itself justify quashing it at the pre-arrest stage unless it fits one of those recognised exceptions. On the facts, the detention order was found to have been issued to prevent smuggling-related activity and did not fall within any exception, including wrong purpose. The High Court was therefore right in refusing to quash the order before execution. en-us Wed, 05 Oct 2005 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 06 Apr 2020 13:07:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=156587 Pre-execution judicial review of a preventive detention order is confined to narrow, self-imposed exceptions, including cases where the order is under the wrong law, directed against the wrong person, issued for a wrong purpose, based on vague or irrelevant grounds, or made without authority.
