The question before the High Court was whether the provisions of Section 3 4 of the National Security Act, 1980, requiring the detaining authority to report the detention to the State Government forthwith, have been violated.
The appellants husband, Jangkhohao Khongsai, with two others, was arrested by the police on 30 May 2017, and charged with offences under Section 400 of the I.P.C. and Section 25 1 C of the Arms Act, 1959, allegedly for being a member of the cadre of the KLA organization, and for possession of fire arms.
On 17 July 2017, the District Magistrate served the detenu with the grounds for his detention.
The appellant filed a writ petition before the Manipur High Court, challenging the order of detention.
On 12 July 2017, the District Magistrate, Bishnupur, Manipur, passed an order of detention against him, apprehending that the detenu was likely to be released on bail.
These proceedings have arisen from the judgment of a Division Bench of the Manipur High Court, at Imphal, dated 3 April 2018 in Writ Petition Crl.
On 20 July 2017, the Government of Manipur approved the order of detention.
It also states that numberdetention order shall remain in force for more than twelve days after making the order, unless it has been approved by the State Government.
