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 pre
execution 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 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 pre
execution 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.
