Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Maneka Gandhi v. Union of India developed the requirement that a procedure depriving a person of liberty must be fair, just and reasonable. The Court read Article 21 together with the protections against arbitrariness in Article 14 and the freedoms in Article 19. This introduced a due-process-like standard through interpretation, although the constitutional text still uses procedure established by law.
