division bench comprising Justices K Kalyanasundaram and B Pugalendhi made the suggestion while quashing a detention order passed under the Act against an alleged drug offender, Machakalai, owing to 25 days delay in disposal of his representation by the authorities concerned. The judges noted that there is an inordinate delay in considering the representation of the detainee and in fact, in many such cases, this delay is artificially created by authorities to favour the detainees. “With the advancement in technology several modes of communication are available such as e-mail, fax, WhatsApp., etc, which can be used. A dedicated web-portal has to be established so that every movement of the representation could be monitored and any delay in considering the representation could be avoided,” they added and expressed hope that the government would take necessary action in this regard.
