Delay in passing the detention orders was held not fatal because the investigation had progressed through statements, documents and continuing scrutiny, and the activities were treated as part of an organised smuggling operation with a continuing live link. Non-placement of the detenu's retraction and show cause reply did not vitiate the orders, as independent unretracted statements and seizure material supported detention.

The preventive detention orders were upheld. en-us Fri, 24 Jan 2014 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 16:05:48 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=243892 Preventive detention under COFEPOSA was examined for delay, non-placement of documents, and alleged defects in subjective satisfaction.
