Description:
The Supreme Court has ruled that government cannot indefinitely delay its decision on the representations made by detenues under the preventive detention law as it violates the precious right to liberty of every citizen and foreigners residing in the country. A bench of justices A K Ganguly and J S Khehar said in a judgement that courts are duty-bound to protect the fundamental right of liberty to people by issuing a writ of habeas corpus for production of the detenues even if there are technical flaws in the petitions filed on their behalf. #pdf
