The correct answer is option 4. The majority view of the Supreme Court in the A. K. Gopalan vs. State of Madras case did not invent `due process of law`. `Due process of law` is a principle that ensures fair treatment under the law and has been a fundamental concept in many legal systems around the world.

Option 1 states that the state cannot deprive any person within the territory of India of their personal liberty without a rational basis. This means that the state cannot take away someone`s personal liberty arbitrarily and must have a valid reason for doing so.

Option 2 states that any deprivation of personal liberty must be in accordance with procedures established by law. This means that any restrictions on personal liberty must be based on laws that have been enacted and can only be imposed following proper legal procedures.

Option 3 states that personal liberty can be protected through the judicial writ of Habeas Corpus. Habeas Corpus is a legal remedy that allows individuals to challenge the legality of their detention and ensures that they are produced before a court to determine the validity of their confinement.

In summary, the incorrect statement is option 4, as the majority view of the Supreme Court in the A. K. Gopalan vs. State of Madras case
