1952 (3) TMI 32 - SC - Indian LawsWhether petitioner has been deprived of his personal liberty in accordance with procedure established by law? Held that:- Article 166 directs all executive action to be expressed and authenticated in the manner therein laid down but an omission to comply with those provisions does not render the executive action a nullity. Therefore, all that the procedure established by law requires is that the appropriate Government must take a decision as to whether the detention order should be confirmed or not under section 11 (1). That such a decision has been in fact taken by the appropriate Government is amply proved on the record. Therefore, there has been, in the circumstances of this case, no breach of the procedure established by law and the present detention of the petitioner cannot be called in question. For the reasons stated above, in my opinion, this application must fail.
