(1.) THE facts of the cases out of which this reference to the Full Bench has arisen are given in the order of reference. The following are the two questions referred to the Full Bench:
(2.) WHEN a person is arrested and detained under Section 3, Patiala State Public Safety Ordinance, 2003 and in the order of arrest made by the authority making or directing the arrest, no mention is made of the Patiala State Public Safety (second amendment) Ordinance of 2004, does this make the orders of arrest or detention void ab initio or does it affect in any other way the legality and the validity of those orders?
(3.) THE words of Clause (a) of Section 2 of the first amending Ordinance were to the effect that "For Sub -section (2) the following Sub -sections shall be substituted, and shall be deemed always to have been substituted." Clause (b) of Section 2 of the amending Ordinance laid down that the words 'or Sub -section 2A' be added to Sub -section (3) of Section 3 'and shall be deemed always to have been added.' Section 3 of the amending Ordinance inserted Section 6 -A to the Original Ordinance and Section 4 amended Section 21, but with these amendments we are not concerned in the present case.
