casestatus.in Summary

Summary The Supreme Court dismissed Maharashtra's appeals against the Bombay High Court's decision. The Court held that when detention orders are issued by officers under Section 3(2) of the Maharashtra Prevention of Dangerous Activities Act, the issuing officer remains the detaining authority until state government approval (within 12 days). Consequently, failure to inform detainees of their right to represent to the detaining authority violates Article 22(5) of the Constitution, rendering the detention order invalid. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
