Description
The National Security Act,1980 Bare Act English,1st Edition 2026
The National Security Act (NSA) of 1980 is an Indian law allowing preventive detention of individuals to safeguard national security, public order, and essential services, empowering the government to detain people without formal charges for acting prejudicially to India’s defense, foreign relations, security, or essential supplies, with procedures including review by an Advisory Board of High Court judges, though critics point to its potential for misuse due to wide discretionary powers and limited legal rights for detainees.
Key Provisions and Objectives:
- Preventive Detention: The Act permits the Central or State governments to detain individuals to prevent them from acting in ways harmful to national security, public order, or essential supplies and services.
- Grounds for Detention: Reasons include actions prejudicial to India’s defense, relations with foreign powers, national security, maintenance of public order, or disruption of essential supplies/services.
- Authority: Powers can be exercised by the Central/State Governments, District Magistrates, or Police Commissioners.
- Foreigners: It also allows for regulating the presence or expulsion of foreigners in India.
Procedural Safeguards:
- Communication of Grounds: Detainees must be informed of the grounds for detention within 5 to 15 days, unless withheld in the public interest.
- Representation: Detainees can submit a representation against the detention order.
- Advisory Board: An Advisory Board, consisting of High Court judges, reviews the case within three weeks; detention beyond three months requires their approval.
- Duration: Maximum detention is typically 12 months, though extensions are possible.
- No Legal Representation: Detainees lack the right to legal counsel before the Advisory Board.
