A report made the next day was treated as compliant because the short interval caused no prejudice and did not impair timely governmental scrutiny. The remaining objections, including alleged breach of the reporting framework, delay between incidents and detention, prompt disposal of representation, limited reliance on material, and the existence of prosecution, were found insufficient to invalidate the detention. The detention order was therefore sustained. en-us Mon, 27 Jan 1975 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 18:00:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=168096 In preventive detention under the Maintenance of Internal Security Act, 1971, the statutory requirement to report the detention order "forthwith" to the State Government was construed as requiring reasonable promptitude, not instantaneous action.
