Which of the following is not included in Art. 19 of the Indian Constitution?

Answer & Explanation

Correct answer: (C) Freedom from Detention

• Article 19 does not explicitly provide freedom from detention. However, Article 19(1)(d) guarantees freedom to move freely throughout India.
• Article 21 protects life and personal liberty, which includes protection against arbitrary detention.

#Note:

• The original Constitution had seven freedoms — 19(1)(f) guaranteed the right to acquire, hold and dispose of property. This was deleted by the 44th Amendment (1978), which also made the right to property a legal right under Article 300A rather than a fundamental right.
