No. 251 of 1993 preferred by the revision petitioners. 2. This is a case of total abuse of process of law by the petitioners/tenants in their attempt to grab the valuable properties belonging to Komaleeswarar temple atKomaleeswaranpettai, Chennai-2.

ORDERV.S. Sirpurkar, J. 1. The question referred before us is as follows: 'Whether the service of a copy of a petition in a proceeding to which the detenu is a party as an accused, service of such copy having become necessary subsequent to the order of detention and the purpose for which the copy is served is self-explanatory by a reading of that document, vitiates the order of detention on the sole ground that it was not accompanied by a covering letter.' 2.
