23. Learned counsel for the petitioner has referred to Smt. Shalini Soni v. Union of India wherein it has been observed that it an unwritten rule of law, constitutional and administrative that whenever a decision-making function is entrusted to the subjective satisfaction of a statutory functionary, there is an implicit obligation to apply his mind to pertinent and proximate matters only, eschewing the irrelevant and the remote. Learned counsel for the petitioner has also made reference to Sadhu Roy v. The State of West Bengal; AIR 1975 SC 919 : (1975 Cri LJ 784) wherein it has been observed that the satisfaction though attenuated by 'subjectivity' must be real and rational, not random divination, must flow from an advertence to relevant factors, not be a mock recital or mechanical chant of statutorily sanctified phrases. He has then referred to Diwan Singh Verma v. Union of India; 1988 (2) Delhi Lawyer 197 wherein certain documents had been relied upon had shown no link of the detenu with the alleged prejudicial activities and it was held that it amounted to non-application of mind by the detaining authority. However ratio laid in these judgments in my opinion would not apply to the facts of the present case where we find that these documents have been explained by the detenu himself in his statement which on reading the whole would give the inference that these documents are connected with the prejudicial activities of the detenu. So, I do not find any merit in this particular contention. Another ground urged by the learned counsel for the petitioner in support of the writ petition is that there was no material which could show that petitioner has been indulging in any activity which is prejudicial to the augmentation of foreign exchange. I have gone through the grounds of detention and find that petitioner has been purchasing foreign currency at some rate had been disposing of the said currency at a higher rate and it was clearly in violation of the provisions of Foreign Exchange Regulation Act 1973. It is evident that if private individuals living in India deal in foreign currency without the permission of the Reserve Bank of India, the foreign exchange would be dealt with in a clandestinely manner and would never put into the coffers of Government of India and obviously such an activity is prejudicial to the augmentation of foreign exchange by the country.
