Which one of the following statements about the judgement in the D.K. Basu v. State of West Bengal case (Supreme Court, 1997) is not correct ?

The D.K. Basu v. State of West Bengal (1997) judgement is a landmark Supreme Court ruling focused on preventing custodial torture and protecting the rights of individuals during arrest and detention. The Court laid down 11 mandatory guidelines, including the right of the arrestee to have a friend or relative informed of their arrest (Statement A) and the permission to consult a lawyer during interrogation, though not for its entire duration (Statement C). The case originated from a letter addressed to the Chief Justice of India by D.K. Basu, which was treated as a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) (Statement D).

Statement B is incorrect because the judgement does not deal with land displacement or compensation for government projects; such issues are typically governed by land acquisition laws and separate judicial precedents. The D.K. Basu guidelines specifically address the protection of fundamental rights under Articles 21 and 22(1) of the Constitution.
