July 1972
Detention notices must give reasons (not full factual recitals); courts will not substitute their discretion absent bad faith.
Constitutional law — Detention under emergency regulations — Requirement to "specify in detail the grounds" — "Detail" means reasons for detention, not a pleading-like recital of all facts — Vagueness assessed contextually — Limited judicial review of executive detention absent bad faith.
