The text states that although the material was available after seizure and investigation, the order was passed about eight months later without satisfactory explanation, so the delay invalidated the detention. It further states that delay in execution and service is also fatal where the detenue was available and there was no evidence of evasion, because prompt service is required in preventive detention matters.
