This writ of habeas corpus is preferred by the<br \/>\nwife of Abdul Salam Abu, S\/o Abdu Rahiman, who is under<br \/>\ndetention pursuant to detention order No<br \/>\n69324\/SSA\/4\/01\/ Home dated 27.12.2001 issued by the first<br \/>\nrespondent. Detenu was detained by the first respondent<br \/>\nin exercise of the powers conferred by Section 3 (1)(i)<br \/>\nand (3)(1)(ii) of the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and<br \/>\nPrevention  of Smuggling Activities Act, 1974 (for short<br \/>\nCOFEPOSA Act&#8217;).\n<\/p>\n<p> 2. Detenu was apprehended on 20.11.2001. H was<br \/>\na passenger of IC 598 of India Airlines coming from<br \/>\nSharja to Calicut. He was found to carry 90 mobile phones<br \/>\nand four movie cameras. One hundred and fifty numbers of<br \/>\ngold coins were also found out. A statement was recorded<br \/>\non the same day. He was also arrested at 10.00 p.m. and<br \/>\nwas produced before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Manjeri<br \/>\nat 11.00 a.m. on 21.11.2001 and was remanded to judicial<br \/>\ncustody till 4.12.2001. He moved bail application.<br \/>\nCrl. M.P. No. 11415 of 2001 in O.S. No. 18 of 2001 before the<br \/>\nAdditional Chief Judicial Magistrate (Economic Offence).<br \/>\nErnakulam. Bail was granted to him on 11.12.2001. While<br \/>\nhe was on bail order of detention was passed on<br \/>\n27.12.2001 detaining him in  Central Prison,<br \/>\nThiruvananthapuram.\n<\/p>\n<p> 3. The only contention raised by the counsel for<br \/>\nthe petitioner is that while the detenu was detained under<br \/>\nthe COFEPOSA Act he was on bail granted by a competent<br \/>\ncriminal court. Counsel submitted that application for<br \/>\nbail and the order granting bail are vital documents but<br \/>\nwere not noticed, adverted to and considered by the<br \/>\ndetaining authority and consequently the order of<br \/>\ndetention is vitiated. Counsel made reference to the<br \/>\ndecisions of the apex Court in   <a href=\"\/doc\/1712028\/\">M. Ahamedkutty v. Union of<br \/>\nIndia<\/a>   (1990 (2) S.C.C. 1),   <a href=\"\/doc\/1715086\/\">Abdul Sathar Ibrahim Sait v.<br \/>\nUnion of India<\/a>   (1992 (1) SCC) and the decisions of this<br \/>\ncourt in   Ashraf v. State of Kerala   (2001 (1) KLJ 684) and<br \/>\n  Hajra v. State of Kerala   (1997 (1) KLT 597). Reference<br \/>\nwas also made to the decision of the apex court in<br \/>\n  Chowdarabu Raghunandan v. State of Tamil Nadu   (2002<br \/>\nS.C.C. (CrL.) 714) and the decision of this court in O.P. No<br \/>\n7571 of 2002.\n<\/p>\n<p> 4. Counsel appearing for the respondents submitted<br \/>\nthat when the sponsoring authority has made available the<br \/>\nbail application and the order granting bail, it must be<br \/>\ntaken that the detaining authority had before it the said<br \/>\nbail application and the order granting bail and formed<br \/>\nits subjective satisfaction and passed the detention order<br \/>\nin exercise of the powers conferred under Sections 3(i)(i)<br \/>\nand 3(1)(iii of the COFEPOSA Act. The fact that there is<br \/>\nno reference about the bail application and the order<br \/>\ngranting bail in the detention order does not mean that<br \/>\nthe detaining authority has not applied its mind while<br \/>\npassing the order of detention. We find it difficult to<br \/>\naccept the contention advanced on behalf of the<br \/>\nrespondents. The apex curt in   M. Ahamedkutty&#8217;s case.<br \/>\nsupra (1990 (2) SCC 1) stated that the bail application<br \/>\nand the bail order are vital documents. We may extract<br \/>\nrelevant portion of the judgment for easy reference.\n<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;Considering the facts in the instant case, the<br \/>\nbail application and the bail order were vital<br \/>\nmaterials for consideration. If those were not<br \/>\nconsidered the satisfaction of the detaining<br \/>\nauthority itself would have been impaired, and if<br \/>\nthose had been considered, they would be documents<br \/>\nrelied on by the detaining authority though not<br \/>\nspecifically mentioned in the annexure to the<br \/>\norder of detention and those ought to have formed<br \/>\npart of the documents supplied to the detenu with<br \/>\ngrounds of detention and without them the grounds<br \/>\nthemselves could not be said to have; been<br \/>\ncomplete. We have therefore, no alternative but<br \/>\nto hold that it amounted to denial of the detenu&#8217;s<br \/>\nright to make an effective representation and that<br \/>\nit resulted in violation of Article 22 (5) of the<br \/>\nConstitution of India rendering the continued<br \/>\ndetention of the detenu illegal and entitling the<br \/>\ndetenu to be set at liberty in this case.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p> This question again came up for consideration before the<br \/>\napex court in   <a href=\"\/doc\/1715086\/\">Abdul Sathar Ibrahim Manik v. Union of<br \/>\nIndia and Ors.<\/a>   (1992 (1)SCC 1). After analysing the<br \/>\nvarious decisions, the apex court laid down several<br \/>\npropositions of which we are concerned in this case with<br \/>\nproposition No.6, which is extracted below:\n<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;In a case where detenu is released on bail and<br \/>\nis at liberty at the time of passing the order of<br \/>\ndetention,  then the detaining authority has to<br \/>\nnecessarily rely upon them as that would be a<br \/>\nvital ground for ordering detention. In such a<br \/>\ncase the bail application and the order granting<br \/>\nbail should necessarily be placed before the<br \/>\nauthority and the copies should also be supplied<br \/>\nto the detenu.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p> A Bench of this Court in   Ashraff v. State of Kerala   (2001<br \/>\n(1) KLJ 684) followed the abovementioned decision and held<br \/>\nthat bail application and the order of bail are all vital<br \/>\ndocuments and the detaining authority is bound to consider<br \/>\nthe same. The court also held that the contents of the<br \/>\nbail application and the manner in which bail application<br \/>\nwas considered by the Magistrate and the ground on which<br \/>\nhe was satisfied of granting bail would also have a<br \/>\nbearing in the formation of the subjective satisfaction of<br \/>\nthe detaining authoirty in passing the detention order<br \/>\nsince those documents are vital documents.\n<\/p>\n<p> 5. In this connection we may also refer to the<br \/>\nrecent decision of the apex court in   Chowdarabu<br \/>\nRaghunandan v. State of Tamil Nadu and Ors.   (2002 S.C.C.<br \/>\nCrl. 714). In that case apex court was considering the<br \/>\nprovisions of the COFEPOSA Act and emphasised the<br \/>\nnecessity of adverting to vital documents and held as<br \/>\nfollows:\n<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;Though the courts exercising powers of judicial<br \/>\nreview do not consider the challenges to an order<br \/>\nof detention as if on an appeal reappreciating the<br \/>\nmaterials, yet since an order of detention in<br \/>\nprison involves the fundamental rights of a life<br \/>\nand liberty, no absolute immunity can be claimed<br \/>\nby the respondents as to the decision arrived at<br \/>\nand it is open to the courts to see whether there<br \/>\nhas been due and proper application of mind and<br \/>\nthat all the relevant and vital materials for the<br \/>\npurpose have been noticed, adverted to and considered.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p> We have indicated that when a competent court grants bail<br \/>\non the basis of an application filed by the detenu<br \/>\ngrounds urged in the bail application as well as the order<br \/>\ngranting bail are vital documents to be examined by the<br \/>\ndetaining authority. It is always open to the detaining<br \/>\nauthority to come to its own subjective satisfaction on<br \/>\nthe basis of those materials. We have already indicated<br \/>\nthose are all vital materials to be considered by the<br \/>\ndetaining authority. In this case the bail application<br \/>\nand the order granting bail are vital documents since the<br \/>\ncompetent court has granted bail on certain grounds and<br \/>\nhence those documents are to be adverted to and<br \/>\nconsidered.\n<\/p>\n<p> 6. Incidentally we may also point out that the<br \/>\ndecisions in   Ahamedkutty&#8217;s case   (1990 (2) SCC 1) and Abdul<br \/>\nSathar Ibrahim Manik&#8217;s case (1992 (1) SCC 1)  came up for<br \/>\nconsideration before the apex court in   K. Varadaraj v.<br \/>\nState of Tamil Nadu   (2002 SCCL Com 448). That was a case<br \/>\narose out of the Tamil Nadu Prevention of Dangerous<br \/>\nActivities of Bottleggers. Drug Offenders, Forest<br \/>\nOffenders, Goondas, Immoral Traffic Offenders and Slum<br \/>\nGrabbers Act, 1982 (Tamil Nadu Act 14 of 1982). In that<br \/>\ncase before the detention order was passed on 8.11.2001.<br \/>\ndetenu was arrested for indulging in the trade of<br \/>\nbootlegging. Pursuant to the arrest he made an<br \/>\napplication for bail and as per order dated 19.10.2001<br \/>\nbail was granted to him and the court directed him to be<br \/>\nreleased on bail on his executing a bond for Rs. 5.00\/with<br \/>\ntwo sureties for the like sums, each to the satisfaction of<br \/>\nthe Judicial Magistrate. Krishnagiri, Bail was granted<br \/>\nsince no objection was raised by the Public Prosecutor.<br \/>\nHowever, he was not released on bail since he failed to<br \/>\ncomply with the conditions imposed while granting bail and<br \/>\nconsequently continued to be in custody. Order of<br \/>\ndetention was passed on 8.11.2001. When the detention<br \/>\norder was passed, detaining authority did not have before<br \/>\nit the application for bail nor the order passed thereon<br \/>\nby the Sessions Judge. However, detaining authority took<br \/>\ninto consideration remand order made by the court to note<br \/>\nthe fact that the detenu was in police custody.<br \/>\nContention was raised before the High Court by the detenu<br \/>\nthat application for bail preferred by him as well as the<br \/>\norder on it were not placed before the detaining<br \/>\nauthority. Consequently order of detention was vitiated.<br \/>\nThe High Court however rejected the contention noticing<br \/>\nthat the detenu did not come out on bail and he had<br \/>\nremained to be on remand in prison on the basis of the<br \/>\norder bail application or the order made thereon were on<br \/>\nrelevant material. The apex court after considering its<br \/>\nearlier decision in   Abdul Sathar&#8217;s case   held as follows:\n<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;We have considered the argument advanced on<br \/>\nbehalf of the parties as also perused the records.<br \/>\nThe issue that arises for our consideration in<br \/>\nthis case is not really res integra. In the case<br \/>\nof Ahamedkutty (supra), this court held:<br \/>\n&#8220;Considering the facts the bail application and<br \/>\nthe bail order were vital materials for<br \/>\nconsideration. If those were not considered the<br \/>\nsatisfaction of the detaining authority itself<br \/>\nwould have been impaired&#8230;..&#8221; It is based on this<br \/>\nobservation of the court that learned counsel for<br \/>\nthe appellant argued that non-consideration of the<br \/>\nbail application and order made thereon would<br \/>\nvitiate the order of detention. But we should<br \/>\nnotice that the said observation of this court was<br \/>\nmade on facts of that case, therefore, we cannot<br \/>\nread into that observation of this court that in<br \/>\nevery case where their is an application for bail<br \/>\nand an order made thereon the detaining authority<br \/>\nmust as a rule be made aware of the said<br \/>\napplication and order made thereon. In our<br \/>\nopinion the need of placing such application and<br \/>\norder before the detaining authority would arise<br \/>\non the contents of those documents. If the<br \/>\ndocuments do contain some  material which on facts<br \/>\nof that case would have some bearing on the<br \/>\nsubjective satisfaction of the detaining authority<br \/>\nthen like any other vital material even this<br \/>\ndocument may have to be placed before the<br \/>\ndetaining authority. In our opinion, the judgement<br \/>\nof this court in Ahamedkutty (supra) does not lay<br \/>\ndown a mandatory principle law that in every case<br \/>\nthe application for bail and the order made<br \/>\nthereon should be placed before the court. We are<br \/>\nsupported in this view of ours by the judgment<br \/>\nrelied on by the State in Abdul Sathar (supra).&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p> After holding so, apex court further held as follows:\n<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;From the facts of this case, we must note that<br \/>\nthe fact that the detenu was in custody was taken<br \/>\nnote of by the detaining authority by reference to<br \/>\nhis remand order therefore that is a vital fact<br \/>\nwhich is taken note of by the court. The contents<br \/>\nof the bail application also in our opinion do not<br \/>\ncontain any vital material notice of which the<br \/>\ndetaining authority had to take. However, in our<br \/>\nopinion there was a vital fact in the order of the<br \/>\ncourt notice of which ought to have been taken by<br \/>\nthe detaining authority. The said fact is that<br \/>\nthe court specifically noted in the bail order<br \/>\nthat the Public Prosecutor had no objection for<br \/>\ngrant of bail therefore the court was inclined to<br \/>\ngrant bail to the appellant. This is a<br \/>\ncircumstances, in our opinion, which ought to have<br \/>\nbeen noticed by the detaining authority because<br \/>\nthe counsel representing the State in express<br \/>\nterms said that he which would also mean his<br \/>\nclient which is the State, did not have any<br \/>\nobjection to the grant of bail. Therefore in our<br \/>\nopinion this is a vital fact notice of which the<br \/>\ndetaining authority ought to have taken.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p> Counsel for the respondents submitted that as opined by<br \/>\nthe apex court in   Ahamedkutty&#8217;s case  , there is no general<br \/>\nproposition that whenever bail is granted on application<br \/>\nmade by the detenu application and the bail order are<br \/>\nvital documents to be considered by the detaining<br \/>\nauthority, consequently non mentioning of the bail<br \/>\napplication and the bail order in the detention order<br \/>\nwould not vitiate the order of detention.\n<\/p>\n<p> 7. We find it difficult to accept the above<br \/>\ncontention of the respondents. Apex court in Varadaraj&#8217;s<br \/>\ncase has noted that it is not correct to say in every case<br \/>\nthere is an application for bail and the order made<br \/>\nthereon and the detaining authority must as a rule be made<br \/>\naware of the said application and the order made thereon.<br \/>\nNeed of placing such an order and the application would<br \/>\narise on the contents of those documents. If the<br \/>\ndocument do contain some materials which wold enable to<br \/>\nform subjective satisfaction of the detaining authority it<br \/>\nhas to be placed before the detaining authority. In the<br \/>\nabove mentioned case apex court has found that the<br \/>\nconcession made by the Prosecutor is a relevant factor<br \/>\nwhich ought to have been taken note of, when an order is<br \/>\npassed by a competent court granting bail after hearing<br \/>\nthe counsel for the accused as well as the prosecutor on<br \/>\nmerits subject to certain conditions we are of the view<br \/>\nthe said order is also a vital document though not an<br \/>\norder passed on concession by the criminal court. Order<br \/>\npassed by the criminal court on concession made by the<br \/>\nprosecutor as well as the order passed by the criminal<br \/>\ncourt after hearing both sides is also a vital document.<br \/>\nAs far as this case is concerned order passed by the<br \/>\ncriminal court granting bail is a conditional one and t he<br \/>\nconditions are as follows:\n<\/p>\n<p> (1) The accused shall execute bond for Rs.50,000\/-<br \/>\nwith two solvent sureties for the like sum.\n<\/p>\n<p> (2) The accused shall appear before the<br \/>\ninvestigating officer on every Monday and Friday<br \/>\nfor two months or till the investigation is over<br \/>\nwhichever is earlier.\n<\/p>\n<p> (3) The accused shall not leave the country<br \/>\nwithout the permission of this court.\n<\/p>\n<p> We are of the view that detaining authority has to<br \/>\nconsider whether the conditions imposed by the criminal<br \/>\ncourt while granting bail would be sufficient to safeguard<br \/>\nits interest or continued detention is necessary under the<br \/>\nCOFEPOSA Act. This is a vital fact to be gone into by the<br \/>\ndetaining authority. It is always open to the detaining<br \/>\nauthoirty to detain a person de hors the conditions<br \/>\nimposed by the criminal court but that is a fact to be<br \/>\ntaken into consideration by the detaining authority to<br \/>\nfrom its subjective satisfaction while passing the<br \/>\ndetention order. In this case we find detenu was already<br \/>\non bail subject to certain conditions. Detaining<br \/>\nauthority had not noticed, adverted to and considered that<br \/>\nfact. Consequently the order of detention is vitiated.\n<\/p>\n<p> 8. Counsel appearing for the sponsoring authority<br \/>\nhowever submitted that even if the detention order is<br \/>\nvitiated by procedural infirmity, detaining authority may<br \/>\nbe permitted to pass fresh orders rectifying the<br \/>\nprocedural defects. Counsel laid stress on the decision<br \/>\nof the apex Court in   <a href=\"\/doc\/148612\/\">Naranjan Singh Nathawan v. State of<br \/>\nPunjab   (AIR<\/a> 1952 S.C. 106) which was  referred to by the<br \/>\napex court in a later decision in   Sanjay Dutt v. State<br \/>\n(1994(5) SCC 410). Counsel appearing for the detenu<br \/>\nhowever submitted that if the court finds that the order<br \/>\nof detention is invalid and it is set aside, the detaining<br \/>\nauthority has no jurisdiction to pass fresh orders. In<br \/>\nany view of the matter, counsel submitted that in the<br \/>\ninstant case such a power cannot be exercised since the<br \/>\nperiod of detention is about to expire. We are of the<br \/>\nview in the instant case it may not be possible for the<br \/>\ndetaining authority to pass fresh detention order since<br \/>\nonly a few more months remain for the detenu to be<br \/>\nreleased. However, we may add in appropriate cases where<br \/>\nthere are procedural infirmities, the detaining authority<br \/>\ncan pass fresh orders after clearing the procedural<br \/>\ndefects. We find in this case detaining authority had<br \/>\nfailed to take note of the bail application and the order<br \/>\ngranting bail. Consequently mandatory requirement has not<br \/>\nbeen complied with by the detaining authority.\n<\/p>\n<p> 9. We are of the view in appropriate case it<br \/>\nwould be possible to cure such defects and pass fresh<br \/>\ndetention orders. We are fortified in this view by the<br \/>\ndecision of the apex court in   Naranjan Singh&#8217;s case  ,<br \/>\nsupra, (AIR 1952 S.C. 106) wherein the apex court after<br \/>\nreferring to the earlier decision in   Makkan Singh v.<br \/>\nState of Punjab   (AIR 1952 S.C. 27) held as follows:\n<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;Indeed, the position is now made more clear by<br \/>\nthe express provisions of Section 13 of the Act which<br \/>\nprovides that a detention order may at any time be<br \/>\nrevoked or modified and that such revocation shall<br \/>\nnot bar the making of a fresh detention order<br \/>\nunder Section 3 against the same person. Once it is<br \/>\nconceded that in habeas corpus proceedings the<br \/>\nCourt is to have regard to the legality or<br \/>\notherwise of the detnetion at the time of the<br \/>\nreturn and not with reference to the date of the<br \/>\ninstitution of the proceeding, it is difficult to<br \/>\nhold, in the absence of proof of bad faith, that<br \/>\nthe detaining authority cannot supersede an<br \/>\nearlier order of detention challenged as illegal<br \/>\nand make a fresh  order wherever possible which is<br \/>\nfree from defects and duly complies with the<br \/>\nrequirements of the law in that behalf.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p> Counsel appearing for the detenu is justified in<br \/>\ncontending that on the same set of facts a fresh order of<br \/>\ndetention cannot be passed but in a case where vital<br \/>\ndocuments were not adverted to or noticed and considered<br \/>\nwhile passing the detention order the detaining authority<br \/>\ncould look into all those vital documents omitted to be<br \/>\nconsidered and pass a fresh order of detention. We<br \/>\ntherefore quash the order of detention subject to the<br \/>\nabove observation and set the detenu at liberty unless he<br \/>\nis required in connection with any other case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Aysha Nazreem, W\/O.
