The word reason means cause of justification and the word believe means to accept as true or have faith in it. The word reasons to believe convey that there must be some rational basis to form belief. Before the officer has faith or accepts a fact to exist, there must be justification for it. The belief is the final conclusion arrived at as a result of mental exercise based or formed on some relevant material, facts or information on record. Where the belief is not based on any material or it can not withstand the test of reason, which is integral part of it, then it falls through and the Court is empowered to strike it down. The expression reasons to believe postulates or predicates that the belief must be induced by the existence of reasons for such belief. It contemplates existence of reasons on which the belief is founded; in other words there must be some material information at disposal or facts in possession which may lead to formation of reasonable belief. The reasons for the formation of the belief must have a rational connection with or relevant bearing to the formation of the belief and not extraneous or irrelevant. Rational connection postulates that there must be a direct nexus or live link between the material coming to the notice and formation of belief. Reason to believe does not mean a purely subjective satisfaction. A belief can not be reasonable in case it is purely subjective formed without reference to objective facts and material. The words "reason to believe" are stronger than the expression is satisfied. The belief must not be arbitrary or irrational or capricious but based on or justified by facts. It must be reasonable or, in other words, it must be based on reasons which have to be cogent, convincing, existing, relevant and material and should not be unreal or imaginary. There must be rational or intelligible nexus between the reason and the belief, so that, on such reasons, any one, who is not properly instructed on facts and law, could reasonably entertain the belief, otherwise the conclusion would be inescapable that there could not be reason to believe. The words reason to believe contemplate an objective determination based on intelligent care and deliberation involving judicial review as distinguished from purely subjective considerations. The words reason to believe contemplate an objective determination based on intelligent care and deliberation involving judicial review as distinguished from purely subjective considerations. The reasons to believe must also disclose the information on which it is founded so that the other side get a fair chance to verify it and make an effective answer/defence. Merely a direction from higher authorities can not take place of having reasons to believe which is a statutory requirement. 1. 1976 CTR (SC) 220; 2. (1976) 103 ITR 437 (SC); 3. (1967) 1 SCR 590 ; 4.
