https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=192293 A Letters Patent Appeal was held maintainable against a Single Judge's order in a writ petition challenging preventive detention because proceedings under Article 226 were treated as an exercise of the High Court's original constitutional jurisdiction. The detention was then found vitiated because the detenu's representation was not dealt with expeditiously and the delay remained unexplained. The Court held that the right to make a representation under Article 22(5) includes the right to prompt consideration, and avoidable administrative delay without justification invalidates continued detention. The appeal succeeded and release was directed unless the detenu was required in another case. en-us Fri, 04 Mar 1994 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 23 May 2017 18:14:58 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=192293 A Letters Patent Appeal was held maintainable against a Single Judge's order in a writ petition challenging preventive detention because proceedings under Article 226 were treated as an exercise of the High Court's original constitutional jurisdiction.
