(2.) Mr. H. Komol, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner assailed the impugned order of detention solely on the ground that there was inordinate delay in disposal of the representation of the detenu and reliance is placed on two decisions by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner in support of his submission.

(3.) Mr. A. Vashum, learned G.A. appearing for the state respondents submitted that there was delay of 15 days in disposal of the representation and such delay having been explained, it cannot be said to be inordinate delay.
