Question from Odisha OCS Paper 1 2024
The correct answer is:(C) Freedom from Detention
Explanation:
Article 19 of the Indian Constitution guarantees certain fundamental rights to citizens, often referred to as the “six freedoms.” These include:
1. Freedom of speech and expression.
2. Freedom to assemble peacefully without arms.
3. Freedom to form associations or unions.
4. Freedom to move freely throughout the territory of India.
5. Freedom to reside and settle in any part of the territory of India.
6. Freedom to practice any profession, or to carry on any occupation, trade, or business.
“Freedom from Detention” is not mentioned under Article 19. Instead, protection against arbitrary detention is covered under Article 22, which deals with protection in cases of arrest and detention. Hence, the correct answer is (C).
