Law of preventive detention can provide for detention of any person
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Preventive-detention legislation can operate during peace as well as war, whether or not an emergency has been proclaimed. Article 22 expressly recognises such detention while imposing safeguards, including communication of the grounds and an opportunity to make a representation. The power remains subject to constitutional and statutory conditions; an emergency is not a prerequisite.
