Write about Preventive Detention.
✓
Answer
Prevention Detention:
It is a preventive action taken to prevent possible commitment of crime.
If government feels something suspicious about someone who may cause some serious harm to the society, then it may arrest him under prevention detention for some time.
The arrested person is not punished but detained to stop him from committing crime.
Under prevention detention, it is not necessary to present the arrested person before the magistrate.
It can be extended only for 3 months. After that the case is brought before an advisory board for review.
The detention order can be cancelled based on the opinion of the Judge of the Supreme Court or Members of Advisory Board. The state can decide the term of detention.
