Court found no procedural impropriety: applicants were produced before a Magistrate within the required time, a written statement by an Inspector was produced and a valid 21-day remand was ordered under section 4(1)(a) POCA; 'gaming' encompasses gambling including online gambling; applicants were informed of the grounds with interpreter assistance and were not denied counsel; preventive detention under POCA does not prevent criminal prosecution. Habeas corpus was therefore refused.
