JPSC 2021 · Question 104 of 198

Which of the following is not correctly matched?

Indian Polity

AArticle 22.1 - No person who is arrested shall be in custody without being informed, as soon as may be, of the ground for such arrest.
BArticle 22.1 - Right to be defended by a legal practitioner of her or his choice.
CArticle 22.4 - No law providing for preventive detention shall authorise the detention for a period longer than three months.
DArticle 22.2 - Parliament may by law prescribe the circumstances under which a person may be detained for a period longer than three months.Correct

Answer: D. Article 22.2 - Parliament may by law prescribe the circumstances under which a person may be detained for a period longer than three months.

Explanation

The power of Parliament to prescribe circumstances for detention beyond three months is in Article 22(7), not 22(2) - so option (d) is the wrong match.
