Detention and Law : Supreme Court Outlines a Crucial Aspect

An important Judgment was passed in the month of August. August was the month in which India attained Independence. The date of Judgment was 1 August 2000.

In context of detention, it has been commented in A. Sowkath Ali v Union of India [2000] GCtR 3022 (SC) thus : - 

"Sponsoring authority should place all the relevant documents before the detaining authority. It should not withhold any such document based on his own opinion. All documents, which are relevant, which have bearing on the issue, which are likely to affect the mind of the detaining authority should be placed before him. Of course a document which has no link with the issue cannot be construed as relevant."
