The Minister's unexplained 72‑day delay in issuing the suspension order after the YDPA's royal assent rendered the continued detention from 13.05.2024 to 23.07.2024 unlawful; absence of a prescribed time does not permit inordinate delay and the detaining authority failed to justify lawfulness, so habeas corpus relief is appropriate.
