A detention order is not invalid merely because the detenu was in custody in a solitary ground case or because no bail application was pending, where the alleged prejudicial activity could justify detention. However, if the detention has been quashed and substantial time has passed, the detenu cannot be returned to custody automatically; the competent authority must reconsider whether a proximate nexus still exists between the conduct, the detention order, and the present date before directing any remaining detention.
