This session explains the legal framework behind preventive detention in India in the context of recent Delhi protests and the Supreme Court’s directions against unlawful detention. In this video, we explain the meaning of preventive detention, how it differs from punitive detention, and the constitutional safeguards under Article 22. We also discuss the role of the National Security Act, 1980 (NSA) and Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), which replaced the framework earlier associated with Section 144 CrPC. The session traces the evolution of preventive detention from the Rowlatt Act, Preventive Detention Act, MISA, COFEPOSA and NSA, and covers important Supreme Court judgments such as Khudiram Das, Maneka Gandhi, Shaik Nazneen and Ameena Begum. This topic is highly relevant for UPSC Prelims 2027, UPSC Mains GS Paper 2, Fundamental Rights, Internal Security, Constitution, Governance and Current Affairs. ************************************************************************** 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐓𝐮𝐛𝐞 Important 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬- 1.
