Where the grounds are founded on documents, statements or writings, those materials form part of the grounds and must be supplied without undue delay. The authority's failure to act promptly on the request, coupled with the prolonged non-supply of the relied-upon materials, breached the constitutional obligation and deprived the detenu of an effective representation. The continued detention was therefore held illegal. en-us Fri, 26 Sep 1980 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 17:47:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=165807 Article 22(5) requires the detaining authority to communicate the grounds of preventive detention as soon as may be and to afford the detenu the earliest effective opportunity to make a representation.
