https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=193120 A preventive detention order under the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act was invalid because the detaining authority was not given all material facts needed for true subjective satisfaction. The record showed the detenu had been in Customs control, interrogated, and had retracted earlier statements, but these matters were not fully placed before the State Government, and the use of a screening committee further filtered the material relied upon. The order also failed because its stated purpose was to prevent the detenu from leaving the country and avoiding prosecution for past conduct, which is outside the Act's preventive object. The detention order was quashed and release directed. en-us Tue, 02 Jun 1981 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 11:02:53 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=193120 A preventive detention order under the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act was invalid because the detaining authority was not given all material facts needed for true subjective satisfaction.
