Question

In which of the following cases did the Supreme Court call Article 22 of the Constitution the "Ugly provision of the Constitution"?

A.

Maneka Gandhi v. Union of India

B.

Kesavanand Bharati v. State of Kerala

C.

Indira Sawhney v. Union of India

D.

A.K. Gopalan v. State of Madras

Correct option is D


In A.K. Gopalan v. State of Madras, the Supreme Court referred to Article 22 as an "ugly provision." Article 22 deals with preventive detention and provides certain protections to individuals arrested under such laws, but it has been criticized for being misused.
Information Booster:
A.K. Gopalan v. State of Madras (1950) was a landmark case where the Supreme Court narrowly interpreted the Right to Life and Personal Liberty. However, later cases like Maneka Gandhi v. Union of India broadened the scope of Article 21.
