https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=277925 Section 11 of the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act, 1974 gives the Central Government supervisory power to revoke or modify a detention order, and that power carries an implied duty to consider a detenu's representation with reasonable expedition. Unexplained inordinate delay, negligence, callous inaction, or avoidable red-tapism in dealing with such a representation defeats the safeguard and can vitiate the detention. The text notes that a representation repeating earlier grounds still requires consideration, and that prolonged failure to act without satisfactory explanation renders the detention unsustainable and may lead to quashing of the order and release of the detenu. en-us Fri, 18 Apr 1980 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 29 Dec 2018 18:30:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=277925 Section 11 of the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act, 1974 gives the Central Government supervisory power to revoke or modify a detention order, and that power carries an implied duty to consider a detenu's representation with reasonable expedition.
