Facts
This was an appeal against the decision of the High Court which upheld the legality of the appellant's detention under the Preventive Detention Act and dismissed an application for habeas corpus. The legality of the detention was challenged in the High Court as it was effected immediately after the appellant had been acquitted by the Court. It was argued that the Government, by ordering the detention of the appellant, was pursuing criminal and administrative measures at the same time.
Held:
(i) Since at the time of detaining the appellant court proceedings had terminated, there was no interference with court decisions.
(ii) The appellant was properly detained.
