..... 3(1) of the preventive detention act under which the initial order of detention is made is worded differently in this respect and it merely empowers the central government or the state government, as the case may be, to make order, under the circumstances specified in the section directing that a person be detained; and nothing is said about the period for which such detention should be directed. ..... there is no material difference in the scheme of the preventive detention and the scheme of prevention of black marketing and maintenance of supplies of essential commodities act, 1980, with which we are concerned, in so far as the question that is being canvassed before us. ..... then the government is enjoined within a period of three weeks from the date of detention under the act to place before the advisory board the grounds on which the order has been made and the representation, if any, made by the person affected by the order. ..... 3 as noted in the various sub-sections both under the national security act, 1980, and the maharashtra prevention of dangerous activities of slumlords, bootleggers and drug offenders act, 1981, is the same. ..... with these amendments it can be said that the scheme of the preventive detention act as amended is in pari materia with the scheme of the aforesaid act of 1980.11. .....

..... it has been held in this court that if action under the preventive detention act is taken founded on grounds which are altogether extraneous to the provisions of the statute, then the whole order is bad and cannot be sustained. ..... but the allegations which have been annexed to the petitions in either of these two cases do not at all disclose any subversive activity either on the part of the petitioner or on the part of the institution, association with which is attributed to the petitioners. ..... prior to this personal hearing respondent 1 had passed an order on 3 june, 1961 in exercise of the powers under rule 5 of the central civil service (safeguarding of national security) rules, putting the petitioner chintamani under suspension with effect from 6 june, 1961. ..... in that case action was taken by the commissioner of income-tax against one of his employees, on the allegation that he was a member of the communist party, that he attended a private meeting of the party, that he associated with two named persons who were communists and that he was actually engaged in communist activities at sagar. ..... one could well understand an association with persons having known antecedents, indulging in violence or being wedded to the doctrine of violent activities or agitation; and if that be the case, it is possible that allegations to that effect may be well founded. ..... you are further asked to state whether you wish to be heard in person before orders are passed on your case.' 4. .....

Court : Mumbai

..... after extracting the dictum in the said decision, in paragraph 9, in hemlata'scase, the apex court proceeded to hold that the rule laid down is that the prosecution or the absence of it is not an absolute bar to an order of preventive detention; the authority may prosecute the offender for an isolated act or acts of an offence for violation of any criminal law, but if it is satisfied that the offender has a tendency to go on violating such laws, then there will be no bar for the state to detain him under a preventive detention act in order to disable him to repeat such offences. ..... the plain language of section 8 of the cofeposa act is suggestive of making a representation against the preventive detention order to the state government on the basis of the grounds of detention communicated to the detenu. ..... every person whose interests are adversely affected as a result of the proceedings which have a serious import, is entitled to be heard in those proceedings and be assisted by a friend. ..... that material disclosed his stand that he was not involved in any criminal activities. ..... union of india, 1980 cri. l.j. .....

..... while holding that under section 3 of the national security act, nothing precludes the authority from making an order of detention against a person while he is in custody or in jail, it is observed that the validity of the order of detention has to be judged in every individual case on its own facts and in that as to whether material apparently disclosed to the detaining authority that a person against whom an order of preventive detention is being made is already under custody and yet for compelling reasons his preventive detention is necessary. ..... (i) now that the impugned order of detention made by the detaining authority is dehors the application of mind as nowhere in the grounds of detention awareness of the fact that the detenu is in judicial custody is found nor the grounds of detention considered as to whether despite the fact that the detenu was in judicial custody there were any reasons much less compelling reasons to clamp down preventive detention when detenu was already effectively prevented from indulging in prejudicial activities of abetting the smuggling of goods. ..... the order of detention was made under the national security act 1980 on an apprehension that in case the detenu was released on bail he would again carry on with his criminal activities in the area. .....
