ART. 22 THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA 91
Preventive detention - In proceedings before Advisory Board, the detenue has no right of representation through lawyer. (State of Maharashtra v Zubair Haji Qasim, AIR 2008 SC 2825 : (2008)12 SCC 792).
Article 22(5) - The question of making a representation to the Advisory Board arises only after the order of detention had been passed and served on the detenue. Non-consideration of representation filed by the detenue before the detention order was passed did not vitiate the detention. (State of Tamil Nadu v R. Sasikumar, AIR 2008 SC 2827 : (2008)13 SCC 751 : 2008 AIR SCW 4680).
Non-communication of grounds of rejection of representation against detention - No violation of Article 22(5). (Union of India v Saleena, AIR 2016 SC 641 : (2016)3 SCC 437).

The representation should be received by a person authorised to receive it. The Detaining Authority or the concerned authority of the Central Government may have authorised some members of the staff to receive representation or any official document. If the representation is handed over to or served on a person who is not authorised to receive it, the concerned authority cannot be held responsible if any delay is occasioned on account of inaction by such unauthorised person. (Union of India v Chaya Ghoshal, AIR 2005 SC 428 : (2005)10 SCC 97).
