The record showed prompt forwarding of the order, efforts to trace the detenu, his reported absconding, and initiation of proceedings under the COFEPOSA Act; the delay therefore did not invalidate the detention. Non-placement of the bail application and bail order before the detaining authority also did not vitiate the order because the bail application did not clearly retract the Section 108 statement and the authority had independent, corroborative material supporting subjective satisfaction. The detention was upheld and the writ petition was dismissed. en-us Wed, 18 Oct 1989 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 23 May 2017 11:37:40 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=192273 Unexplained delay in executing a preventive detention order can vitiate detention, but delay alone is not fatal where it is satisfactorily explained.
