The '''Bengal Regulation III of 1818''', officially the '''Bengal State Prisoners Regulation, III of 1818''', was a law for [[preventive detention]] enacted by the [[East India Company]] in the [[Presidency of Bengal]] in 1818.<ref name=Hindu>[https://archive.today/20150308120948/http://www.thehindu.com/op/2004/09/07/stories/2004090700101500.htm ]</ref> The law empowered the administration to detain an individual indefinitely, on the basis of suspicion of criminal intent, and without having to commit the detainee to trial.<ref name=Omar41>{{Harvnb|Omar|1996|p=41}}</ref> Similar laws were enacted in the Presidencies of Madras and Bombay.<ref name=HardingandLatchard60>{{Harvnb|Harding|Latchard|1993|p=60}}</ref> The act, along with a [[Defence of India act of 1915|similar law]] enacted in 1915 was put to significant implementation during [[World War I]] in [[British India]] and remained enforced until at least 1927.
