Where the original document is clear, the alleged illegibility is not established, and where the detenu understands the language used or the untranslated portion does not affect the ability to represent effectively, no constitutional breach arises. The operative test is prejudice to the representation right, not mere absence of translation or copy quality. en-us Fri, 30 Jul 1999 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 17:47:04 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=175246 A detention order is not vitiated by supply of an illegible copy of a document or by omission of English translation of portions in Hindi or Marathi unless the defect concerns a vital document and prejudices the detenu's right to make an effective representation under Article 22(5).
