Article 22 provides safeguards to arrested or detained individuals under which two detention categories?
Punitive and preventive
Article 22 of the Constitution grants protection against arrest and detention in certain cases and deals with two distinct kinds of detention.
Punitive detention is detention as a punishment after a person has been tried and convicted of an offence, whereas preventive detention is detention of a person without trial to prevent a likely future offence against the State or public order.
Clauses (1) and (2) provide safeguards for arrested persons under ordinary punitive law, while clauses (4) to (7) lay down limits and safeguards for preventive detention.
Hence, Article 22 covers the two categories of punitive and preventive detention.
