🔆 UPSC Editorial Analysis: Preventive Detention
📍 Introduction
✅ Preventive detention allows the State to detain a person without trial to prevent a possible future offence. A recent Allahabad High Court judgment exposed misuse of these powers after a physically challenged Dalit advocate was unlawfully jailed by Ghaziabad Police.
📍 Constitutional & Legal Framework
✅ Article 21: Personal liberty is the rule; detention is the exception.
✅ Articles 14 & 15: Ensure equality and protection against discrimination.
✅ Under BNSS, 2023, preventive powers are contained in Sections 126 & 170 (earlier Sections 107 & 151 of CrPC).
✅ Preventive detention is preventive, not punitive, and cannot be used as a substitute for punishment.
📍 Allahabad High Court Guidelines
✅ Personal Bond should be the norm; routine demand for financial sureties is impermissible.
✅ Bond amount should generally not exceed ₹20,000 unless justified in writing.
✅ Refusal to execute a bond must be recorded in writing and through audio-video recording.
✅ No person can be detained beyond 24 hours without being produced before a Magistrate.
📍 Administrative Accountability
✅ Compensation of ₹25,000 per day for every day of illegal detention beyond 24 hours.
✅ Compensation to be recovered from the salary of erring officials, not public funds.
✅ Departmental proceedings against responsible Executive Magistrates and Police Officers.
📍 Key Concerns
✅ Misuse of preventive powers for administrative convenience.
✅ Violation of fundamental rights and constitutional safeguards.
✅ Disproportionate impact on marginalised and economically weaker sections.
✅ Declining public trust in law enforcement.
📍 Way Forward
✅ Capacity building of police and Executive Magistrates on preventive detention under BNSS.
✅ Mandatory digital/audio-video documentation of preventive custody.
✅ National Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for preventive detention.
✅ Ensure constitutional morality, transparency, and accountability in enforcement.
📍 Conclusion
✅ Preventive detention is an exceptional constitutional power, not a routine policing tool. The State must balance public order with the fundamental right to personal liberty, ensuring that security measures never override constitutional freedoms.
📝 UPSC GS-II Mains Practice Question (15 Marks | 250 Words)
“Preventive detention is an extraordinary power that must be exercised with strict constitutional safeguards. Discuss the constitutional provisions governing preventive detention and examine the significance of recent judicial interventions in preventing its misuse.”
