Cofeposa Act, 1974 & Safemfop Act, 1976

This authoritative edition compiles two of India’s most important economic and preventive detention legislations—COFEPOSA Act, 1974 and SAFEMFOP Act, 1976. The COFEPOSA Act lays down the legal framework for preventive detention in cases related to smuggling and foreign exchange violations. It covers detention orders, execution procedures, rights of detenues, advisory board review, appeal processes, and state/central government powers. The SAFEMFOP Act complements COFEPOSA by providing detailed provisions for the forfeiture of illegally acquired property of individuals engaged in smuggling and foreign-exchange manipulation. This book presents both Acts together with their rules, amendments, and explanatory notes that clarify key provisions, making the legal framework easy to understand and apply.
