उत्तर

Preventive detention is defined as keeping a person in custody when there is a reasonable suspicion that the person might be involved in crime that would harm the state. A person detained under Preventive Detention may be held in detention for up to three months without trial. Such an individual has the following rights:

  1. Prevention detention does not mean that a person is accused. This is just a precautionary step.
  2. Detention beyond three months can only be extended by a specially formed Advisory Board, which includes a High Court judge.
  3. The detainee must be informed of the basis for his or her custody. He also has the right to make a representation against the detention order.
