Authors
Khan Nawab Nizam Ahmed Kulsoom
Abstract

Personal liberty is one of the forms of human rights. Personal liberty belongs to the second generation of human rights, which are Civil and Political Rights. The modern democratic countries in their legal systems have incorporated the personal liberty of individuals through a written Constitution. Personal liberty is one of the principles of constitutionalism. Thus, it has become a feature of the Constitution containing the principles of constitutionalism.

Maintenance of law and order is one of the sovereign functions of the state. Maintenance of law and order includes maintenance of internal national security. The balance between personal liberty and maintenance of internal, national security through investigative agencies is a delicate one. That's why Indian Constitutional Law under Article 22 carries an independent scheme for maintaining the balance between personal liberty and maintenance of internal and national security by the investigating agency.
