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.

exhaustive and not illustrative in the following manner:

Subhash Muljimal Gandhi vs L.Himingliana on 26 August, 1994
In this connection, it may be profitable if we refer to a decision of
this Court in Subhash Muljimal Gandhi v. L. Himingliana & Anr., (1994)
6 SCC 14. There, an order of detention was challenged by the detenu
at preexecution stage. It was contended by the detenu that the
contingencies noted in Alka Subhash Gadia were illustrative and not
exhaustive. It was submitted that there might well be other
contingencies where such order could be questioned at preexecution
stage. In that case also, it was alleged that the detenu was harassed,
humiliated and beaten by authorities and the case called for grant of
relief before execution of order of detention.

44 In Bhaurao (Supra), the Apex Court took notice of the decision
of a coordinate Bench in "Subhash Muljimal Gandhi Vs. L.
Himingliana", (1994) 6 SCC 14. In "Subhash Muljimal Gandhi"
Naresh Kumar Goyal vs Union Of India And Others on 5 October, 2005
49 To the same effect are the judgments of the Supreme Court in
the cases of Union of India Vs. Muneesh Suneja [(2001) 3 SCC
92] and Naresh Kumar Goyal Vs. Union of India [(2005) 8 SCC
276 reiterating this legal position.
