Preventive Detention and Personal Liberty

Aaqib Mushtaq Bhat, Dr Akhilesh Ranaut

Abstract: India is a country having multi-ethnic, mutli-religious and multilingual society. Caste and communal violence is very common in India. Apart from that the circumstances at the time, when our constitution came in force demanded such provisions. This is evident from following statement of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar,. in the present circumstances of the country, it may be necessary for the executive to detain a person who is tempering either with the public order or with the defense services of the country. In such case, I dont think that the exigency of the liberty of an individual shall be above the interests of the state. However, the provisions of the constitution seem to be ambiguous and this ambiguity has been tried to do away with some provisions. These provisions are mentioned in Article 22 (1), 22 (5), 22 (6).
