All material relied upon to order preventive detention must be supplied to detenue: Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has ruled that all materials relied upon by authorities in preventive detention cases must be supplied to the detainee. This landmark decision emphasizes the detainee's right to be informed of the evidence and grounds for their detention. The Court asserted that non-disclosure of such materials violates the fundamental right to a fair hearing. This ruling is a critical reinforcement of procedural safeguards in preventive detention, ensuring transparency and protecting individual rights against arbitrary detention. The decision has significant implications for the justice system, ensuring that detainees are not deprived of their right to contest the grounds for their detention, thereby enhancing the accountability of detention practices.
