2017 (7) TMI 73 - HC - FEMADetention orders - Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act, 1974 (in short “COFEPOSA Act”) against the husband of the petitioner - Held that:- We have discussed the role and position of the detenue in the smuggling ring. The detenue was not a mere carrier and was in-charge of the Delhi operations of the racket as the kingpin Sh.Narendra Kumar Jain was based in Guwahati. It is clear that the activities of the detenue were of a serious nature and perpetrated with a great deal of expertise and coordination. The activities were of a massive scale and had been continuing for about two years. This had led to the detaining authority satisfying itself about the propensity and potentiality of the detenue to further indulge in such activities. Hence, it is clear that the ordinary law of the land was insufficient to curtail the activities of the detenue and the resort to the law of preventive detention was justified.
