1986 (9) TMI 201 - SC - Indian LawsDetention order dated December 11, 1985 under section 3(1) read with section 2(f) of the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act, 1974, hereinafter referred to as ‘the COFEPOSA ACT’ challenged Held that:- The report of the Advisory Committee was considered by the confirming authority. In the circumstances, it cannot be said that the confirming authority had not applied his mind to the evidence of the defence witness as contended on behalf of the appellant. It will not be unreasonable to presume that all the records including the deposition of the said M.L. Khanna were before the confirming authority. It will be a mere surmise to hold that the confirming authority had not applied his mind to the deposition of the defence witness, even though such deposition has been referred to in the report of the Advisory Committee. The contention, in our opinion, is without any substance and is rejected. No other point has been urged on behalf of the appellant. Appeal dismissed.
