https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=42705 A preventive detention order under the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act was challenged because the detenu was already in custody and the authority relied on a future possibility of release on bail and renewed smuggling activity. The High Court held that such a general apprehension, without independently sustainable detention grounds, was insufficient to justify preventive detention on these facts. It treated the proper remedy for custody-related concerns as opposing bail or challenging any bail order, rather than invoking detention without adequate basis. The detention order was quashed and the detenu was directed to be released forthwith unless required in other lawful detention. en-us Wed, 16 Nov 1988 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 12 Jun 2010 17:31:42 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=42705 A preventive detention order under the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act was challenged because the detenu was already in custody and the authority relied on a future possibility of release on bail and renewed smuggling activity.
