How the exam will ask it
ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- Article 22 provides protection against arrest and detention and expressly permits preventive detention subject to safeguards.
- Preventive detention is aimed at preventing a person from acting in a manner prejudicial to public order or state security, not at punishing a past offence.
- Article 20 deals with protection in respect of conviction for offences, while Article 21 guarantees life and personal liberty.
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS-II Polity: preventive detention sits in tension with personal liberty. Article 22 allows it with safeguards such as Advisory Board review, and courts scrutinise whether the detaining authority genuinely applied its mind to a threat to public order or state security. The costs imposed on the state signal judicial intolerance of casual use of the NSA; the way forward lies in strict procedural compliance, timely review and accountability for misuse.
