C. This issue was brought during the Maneka Gandhi's case and also "due process of law" took shape during this time, right? Correct me if I am wrong.
Yes, that is correct.
Maneka Gandhi’s case, the meaning and content of the words ‘personal liberty’ again came up for the consideration of the Supreme Court. In this case, the petitioner’s passport had been impounded by the Central Government u/s 10(3)(c) of the Passport Act, 1967. Here, the Supreme Court not only overruled A.K. Gopalan’s case but also widened the scope of words ‘personal liberty’.
It was argued that the words “procedure established by law” actually meant “due process of law” from the American Constitution which includes principles of natural justice.
