Additional Secretary To The Government ... vs Smt. Alka Subhash Gadia And Anr on 20 December, 1990
26 It is not in dispute that the Supreme Court
in categorical terms delineated the parameters
on which order of detention at preexecution
stage can be questioned in the case of Alka
Subhash Gadia and Another (supra). In that
case an order of detention was passed against
the husband of the respondent No.1 under
Section 3(1) of COFEPOSA. The order, however,
could not be served on him as he was
absconding. Hence a declaration was made that
he fell within the category mentioned in
Section 2(b) of the SAFEMA. Thereafter, a
notice was issued under Section 6(1) of the
SAFEMA to show cause as to why the properties
mentioned in the schedule to the said notice
should not be forfeited to the Central
Government for reasons recorded in the
accompaniment. A copy of the notice along with
the schedule of the properties and the copy of
the reasons for forfeiture of property were
also sent to the respondent No.1. The
Respondent No.1, thereafter, filed a writ
petition under Article 226 before the High
Court challenging the detention order as well
as the show cause notice. The High Court by
its impugned decision held that the writ
petition was maintainable for challenging the
detention order even though the detenu was not
served with the order and he had thus not
surrendered to the authorities. The High Court
further directed that the detention order, the
grounds of detention, and the documents relied
upon for passing the detention order be
furnished to the detenu and that they should
also be produced before the court. The High
Court also directed the authorities to supply
the said documents to the counsel for the
respondent No.1. The Assistant Director of
Enforcement filed an affidavit before the High
Court stating that although they were willing
to produce the order of detention and the

grounds of detention for the perusal of the
Court, yet they cannot furnish them to the
respondent No.1, unless, as required by the
Act, the detenu first submits to the impugned
order. The High Court held that the officers
were guilty of contempt of court and directed
the matter to be listed to take appropriate
action for contempt. It is at that stage that
the special leave petitions, giving rise to
the appeals, were filed before the Supreme
Court.

Sayed Taher Bawamiya vs Joint Secretary To The Govt. Of India And ... on 3 August, 2000
38 We are of the view that the case does not
appear to be falling in the categories, where
preexecution challenge to the Detention Order
ought to be permissible. The Supreme Court in
"Naresh Kumar Goyal" (Supra) (a three judge
Bench decision), after a comprehensive review
of the case law and noticing the principles
laid down in Alka Subhash Gadia's case
(Supra), also referred to "Sayed Taher
Bawamiya V. Joint Secretary to the Government
of India and others", reported in 2000(8) SCC
630 : (a three judge Bench decision), wherein
it was held that the Court in Alka Gadia's
case (Supra) was also concerned with the
matter, where the detention order had not been
served, but, the High Court had entertained
the petition under Article 226 of the

C/SCA/11221/2020 ORDER
Constitution of India. The Court held that the
equitable jurisdiction under Article 226 and
Article 32, which is discretionary in nature,
should not be exercised in a case where the
proposed detenu successfully evades the
service of the order. If, in every case the
detenu is permitted to challenge and seek the
stay of the operation of the order before its
execution, the very purpose of the order and
the law under which it is made, will be
frustrated, since the order are in operation
for a limited period. The Supreme Court,
however, noted that the Courts have necessary
power in appropriate cases to interfere with
the detention order at the preexecution
stage, but, the scope of interference is very
limited. It was held that the Courts would
interfere at the preexecution stage with
detention orders, only after they were
satisfied of the existence of the five
situations enumerated earlier. In the instant
case, it is the petitioner's own contention
that he has not allowed the detention order to
be served on him.
