The Advisory Board's refusal to issue subpoenas requested by the detainee, despite reasonable notice and practicable means to do so, prejudiced the detainee's right to make effective representations; that procedural breach rendered the representation process and consequent detention order null and void, requiring certiorari to quash the detention order and attendant suspension and restriction orders.

Respondents demonstrated strict compliance with POCA’s statutory procedure for arrest, remand, investigation, inquiry, registration and detention order; the chairman’s affidavit error was an editorial mistake corrected by affidavit and caused no prejudice; the Secretary’s affidavit sufficiently established notification practice; no mandatory procedural requirement was breached that would invalidate the detention order; therefore the habeas corpus application failed and the detention order stands.
