Write a note on prevention detention.

Answer»

Prevention detention means detention of a person without trial. It is not a process of punishing a person, but of preventing him from committing a crime. When the state is in the apprehension that a person is going to commit some offence and there is a danger to the security of the state by his offence or it is getting threats, the state can detain a person for a limited time without trial. Although the person cannot be detained for more than three months under this law, unless the detention is approved by an Advisory Board consisting of at least a judge with qualification for appointment as a judge of the High court. The government has made two laws related to prevention detention. 

These are :

 1. The National Security Act 

2. The Unlawful Activities Prevention Amendment Ordinance.
