Detention order was unlawful and set aside because the Inquiry Officer failed to conduct the inquiry with convenient speed (delay by explanation not credible under s5) and the respondents unjustifiably refused to produce the applicant's s4 recorded statement (no satisfactory invocation of s14/Article151); both defects are mandatory procedural preconditions the detaining authority failed to satisfy, entitling the applicant to immediate release.
