1982 (3) TMI 252 - SC - CustomsWhether prosecution of the offender was possible and sufficient in the circumstances of the case? Held that:- In the present case the detenu tried to export Indian Currency to the tune of ₹ 2,88,900/- to a foreign country in a planned and pre-meditate manner by clever concealment of it in several parts of his baggage. This fully justified the detaining authority in coming to the conclusion that he might repeat his illegal act in future also and that his detention was necessary to preventing him from repeating the same in future. His past act in the circumstances might be an index of his future conduct. When the legislature has made only the subjective satisfaction of the authority making the order of detention; it is not for the court to question whether the grounds given in the order are sufficient or not for the subjective satisfaction of the authority. Appeal dismissed.
