Which of the following is not correctly matched ?

  • A.Article 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.
  • B.Article 22.1 - Right to be defended by a legal practitioner of her or his choice.
  • C.Article 22.4 - No law providing for preventive detention shall authorise the detention for a period longer than three months.
  • 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.

Answer: D

The wrongly matched pair is Article 22.2 - Parliament may by law prescribe the circumstances under which a person may be detained for a period longer than three months.

That power belongs to Article 22(7). Article 22(2) is the rule that an arrested person must be produced before the nearest magistrate within twenty-four hours.

The other three pairs are correct. Article 22(1) gives an arrested person both the right to be told the grounds of arrest and the right to consult and be defended by a legal practitioner of his choice, so the first two options are right. Article 22(4) says no preventive detention law shall authorise detention for longer than three months unless an Advisory Board reports sufficient cause.
