1. Impugned in this petition is the Detention Order No. DMB/PSA/11 of

prejudicial to the ‘security of State’.

2. Through the medium of the present petition, petitioner assails his
detention order, on the grounds that the detenue has been detained under
the Public Safety Act on false and flimsy grounds without any
justification; that the grounds of detention are vague and mere
assertions of the detaining authority and no prudent man can make an
effective and meaningful representation against these allegations.
Further plea of the detenue is that he has not been provided the
material/documents relied upon by the detaining authority, so as to
make an effective representation before the detaining authority; that he
was not informed that he can make a representation before the District
Magistrate, therefore, a valuable right of the detenue stands defeated;
that the Detaining authority, while passing the impugned order, has
relied upon the stale grounds, therefore, the same is not sustainable. It
was prayed to quash the impugned order for the afore-stated grounds.
