Under the Prevention of Black-marketing and Maintenance of Supplies of Essential Commodities Act, 1980, which of the following best describes the legal effect of revocation of a detention order?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Under s.14(2), revocation or expiry "shall not bar the making of a fresh detention order" against the same person where fresh facts arise afterwards. Revocation ends the old order; it neither bars future detention for all time nor gives immunity from prosecution.
