456(A)(A)/03-04 JCH dated 22.7.2004, issued by the Customs Authorities to M/s History Logistics, which, the detaining authority says, was placed before the detaining authority for consideration and considered to draw the detaining authority's subjective satisfaction, does not find part of the relied upon documents nor has the same been supplied to the detenu. Similarly, copies of documents comprised in the Panchnama dated 30.8.2005 have not been supplied to the detenu although the Panchnama finds mention in the grounds of detention but the documents seized along with the Panchnama have not been relied upon nor have they been supplied to the detenu. This too is sufficient to vitiate the order of detention. The Importer Exporter Code pertaining to the three proprietorship firms of the detenu, M/s History Logistics, M/s Rajmahal Bhinder and M/s V.K. Tours and Transport in the Denied Entry List was not placed before the detaining authority since, according to the counter affidavit, the modus operandi was such that this document would have had no effect. Material which may have bearing with the activities and the action taken by the authorities on that would certainly be relevant which required consideration by the detaining authority, its non- placement before the detaining authority would vitiate the detention order. We also find that the Writ Petition No.5431 of 2002, though mentioned as relied upon document, has not been supplied to the detenu, non- supply of material relied upon would vitiate the order as its non-supply would impair the detenu's right to file an effective representation.‖ (Underlining by us)
