(1.) The Petitioner is the wife of Ashwani Aggarwal who has been detained by an order dated 28th December, 2005 passed under the provisions of Section 3 of the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act (for short COFEPOSA).
(2.) It appears that the detention order could not be served upon the detenu immediately but he nevertheless came to know about it and challenged the detention order by filing a writ petition in the High Court of Punjab and Haryana. That writ petition was withdrawn on 23rd May, 2006 with liberty to file a writ petition in this Court. Leave and liberty was granted.
(3.) On 10th June, 2006, the detenu was apprehended by the officers of the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (for short DRI) and officers of the police attached to the Special Cell, New Delhi. He was then detained in Central Jail, Tihar where the order of detention as well as the grounds of detention were served upon him.
