..... hat judgment cannot be said to have been expanded in Deepak Bajaj (supra), since in the latter case, firstly, no exceptional feature is discussed, and, secondly - rather more importantly - the judgment was by two Judges. The observations in Deepak Bajaj (supra) with respect, cannot be taken as having changed the rule and principle in Alka Gadia (supra). Court does not perceive any facts which would fall within the exception spelt out in Alka Gadia (supra) compelling a merits consideration of the impugned detention order that has not been served upon the petitioner.

In these circumstances, it is alleged that the respondents had issued a detention order, which has not yet been executed. The petitioner strongly relied upon the circumstance that the detention orders made on 30.04.2014, in his case as well as in the case of the others i.e. Anil Kumar and Amit Kumar Singh were considered on 15.07.2014.

..... orities) were not confirmed. It was submitted that according to DRI, in the case of each co-detenue, specific quantities have been recovered, whereas the petitioner was sought to be implicated by virtue of a statement. 6. As is apparent from the discussion, the petitioner challenges an unexecuted preventive detention order. The petitioner is aware about the detention order, and that it was made on 30.04.2014. It is also evident that unlike the other two co-accused (in whose cases the detention orders were not confirmed), the order of detention against the petitioner was confirmed. 7.

This Court is of the opinion, with due deference that the rather elaborate reasoning in Alka Gadia (supra) preceding the very limited number of exceptions mentioned in that judgment cannot be said to have been expanded in Deepak Bajaj (supra), since in the latter case, firstly, no exceptional feature is discussed, and, secondly - rather more importantly - the judgment was by two Judges. The observations in Deepak Bajaj (supra) with respect, cannot be taken as having changed the rule and principle in Alka Gadia (supra). 12. This Court does not perceive any facts which would f .....
