The challenge based on delay in considering the detenu's representation also failed, because there is no constitutional requirement that such representation be decided before confirmation of the detention order. The detention order was therefore valid and the preventive detention challenge failed. en-us Mon, 19 Sep 2011 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 22:39:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=175324 Preventive detention under the Karnataka Prevention of Dangerous Activities of Bootleggers, Drug-Offenders, Gamblers, Goondas, Immoral Traffic Offenders and Slum-Grabbers Act was upheld where the detaining authority relied on a long criminal history showing habitual involvement in offences affecting public order and formed subjective satisfaction that ordinary criminal law was insufficient.
