(iii) UAPA (Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967) is an anti- terrorism law currently in force, which includes provisions for extended detention, although it is not classified purely as a preventive detention act in the same category as NSA or the repealed MISA in all contexts. However, it is a law currently in force. (iv) FEMA (Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999) is an economic law regulating foreign exchange transactions. It is currently in force but is not a preventive detention act itself, although related acts like COFEPOSA (Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act, 1974) are preventive detention laws often linked to FEMA contraventions and are also in force. However, FEMA itself is not the preventive detention act. Considering the list, MISA is the only act that is definitively not in force and was a preventive detention act. NSA and UAPA are in force. FEMA is in force but is not a preventive detention act. Therefore, only (ii) is not in force among the list, particularly qualifying as a preventive detention act from the historical context provided by MISA and NSA. 12.
