Where the delay is inordinately long and the explanation is only a vague claim that the detenu was absconding, without details of prompt and effective steps taken to arrest him, the delay may indicate that the need for immediate detention no longer existed. On that basis, a delay of more than a year between making and execution of the order was treated as fatal to the detention. en-us Wed, 31 Mar 1999 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 28 Mar 2019 16:56:12 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=279631 Unexplained delay in executing a preventive detention order under the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act can undermine the detaining authority's subjective satisfaction that immediate detention is necessary.
