In "Daljit Singh Sandhu v. UOI" 1993 JCC 507 this Court had also held that if the prosecution shows that there is reasonable nexus between the prejudicial activity and the purpose of detention, the delay in passing the detention has to be overlooked.
In Daljit Singh Sandhu's case (supra), order of detention was passed after five months of alleged incident and there was no plausible explanation forthcoming for the said delay, and in Varinder Singh Batra's case (supra), suppression of vital material vitiated the detention order.
