Learned counsel on record for the petitioner sought a short accommodation to get instructions on the above points and bring the same on board by way of an affidavit by next listing.
To be noted, in representation dated 11.08.2025 to R3 (detaining authority) the detenu has in subparagraph 2 of paragraph 13 categorically averred that certain documents are illegible and not readable. At least 5 (five) documents have been referred to there. These 5 (five) documents are the pages referred to supra.
To be noted, while the service of the detention order on the detenu was on 09.07.2025 at 9:10 p.m. the afore-referred representation has been made on 11.08.2025. It is in this context that instructions from detenue and an affidavit in this regard have become imperative.
