Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
Constitution balances personal freedoms (Articles 19–22) with the state’s duty to protect sovereignty and public order. Preventive detention laws (e.g., NSA, UAPA) can curtail liberties if security threats arise, stirring debate on potential misuse. The judiciary insists on “reasonable restrictions,” requiring due process and limited durations. In times of war or aggression, Article 352 (National Emergency) temporarily suspends certain freedoms. Critics argue that broad definitions of “threats” and indefinite detention can undermine democracy. The Supreme Court’s vigilance in habeas corpus petitions or bail jurisprudence underscores that while national security is paramount, it cannot wholly eclipse fundamental rights.
