Which one among the following provisions of the Constitution of India relates to preventive detention?
Explanation
Article 22 of the Constitution of India deals with protection against arrest and detention in certain cases. It is divided into two parts: the first part (Clauses 1 and 2) deals with punitive detention, while the second part (Clauses 3 to 7) specifically deals with preventive detention.
- Article 22(3) explicitly states that the safeguards against arrest (like being informed of grounds or produced before a magistrate) do not apply to a person arrested or detained under any law providing for preventive detention.
- Article 22(4) to (7) provide specific safeguards for preventive detainees, such as the constitution of an Advisory Board and the right of the detainee to make a representation against the detention order.
Other options: Article 19 protects six fundamental freedoms; Article 20 provides protection regarding conviction for offences; and Article 21 guarantees the right to life and personal liberty.
