An inordinate and unexplained delay of about 26 years in executing the detention order was treated as fatal because it cast doubt on the genuineness of the detaining authority's subjective satisfaction and showed that the preventive purpose had lost immediacy. The explanation that the detenu had evaded arrest was not accepted as credible in the absence of effective efforts to trace him. The detention order was therefore held vitiated and invalid. en-us Thu, 09 Apr 2015 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 07:52:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=259104 Preventive detention under COFEPOSA requires prompt execution to preserve the live and proximate link between the alleged prejudicial activity and the detention purpose.
