The Constitution of India guarantees to all its citizens certain fundamental freedoms, which are recognized as their fundamental rights. However, these fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution of India are not absolute as no right can be. Each of these fundamental rights is liable to be controlled, curtailed and regulated to some extent by laws made by the Parliament or the State Legislatures. Accordingly, the Constitution of India lays down the grounds and the purposes for which a legislature can impose 'reasonable restrictions' on the rights guaranteed to citizens. The State cannot travel beyond the contours of these reasonable restrictions in curbing the fundamental rights guaranteed to citizens. While determining the constitutional validity of a restriction imposed on a fundamental right by a legislation, the Court is not concerned with the necessity of the restriction or the wisdom of the policy underlying it, but only whether the restriction is in excess of the requirement, and whether the legislature has overstepped the Constitutional limitations. Two of the fundamental rights guaranteed to every citizen of India are- the right to move freely throughout the territory of India and the right to reside and settle in any part of India. However, the State may impose reasonable restrictions on these rights by law, in the interests of the general public or for the protection of the interests of any Scheduled tribes.
Q. A group of Indian students of XYZ University located in New Delhi, India posted on social networking sites that they would hold a demonstration outside the university campus, protesting against a recently passed law which made it compulsory for university students to wear uniforms while attending classes. The students further threatened to ''use whatever means necessary'' to ''stop the oppression of students''. Therefore, the State Authorities placed barricades around the university campus in order to restrict movement of the students carrying out the demonstration and ensuring that the demonstration does not turn violent. In the given situation, which of the following statements is correct regarding the act of placing of barricades by State Authorities?
  • a)
    The act is violative of the Constitution of India because it is a restriction on the freedom to move freely throughout the territory of India.
  • b)
    The act is not violative of the Constitution of India because it is a reasonable restriction in the interests of general public.
  • c)
    The act is violative of the Constitution of India because it is restriction in the interest of students.
  • d)
    The act is not violative of the Constitution of India because it is a reasonable restriction in the interest of morality.

Explanation:

Reasonable Restriction in the Interests of General Public:
- The act of placing barricades around the university campus by State Authorities can be considered a reasonable restriction in the interests of the general public.
- The students were planning a demonstration that threatened to disrupt public order and potentially turn violent.
- Placing barricades was a preventive measure taken by the State Authorities to maintain peace and security in the area.

Constitutional Validity:
- The Constitution of India allows for reasonable restrictions to be imposed on fundamental rights in the interests of the general public.
- These restrictions must be necessary and proportional to the purpose they seek to achieve.
- In this case, restricting the movement of the students temporarily to prevent potential violence can be considered a reasonable restriction.

Protection of Public Interest:
- The State Authorities have a duty to protect the public interest and maintain law and order.
- Placing barricades was a measure taken to ensure the safety and security of not only the students involved in the demonstration but also the general public in the vicinity.
Therefore, the act of placing barricades by State Authorities can be justified as a reasonable restriction in the interests of the general public and does not violate the Constitution of India.

Which of the following statements is incorrect?

Passage - 1Fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution are, in the absence of specific constitutional provisions, mainly enforceable against "the State". The definition of the State in article 12 being an "inclusive" one, courts have ruled that where there is pervasive or predominant governmental control or significant involvement in its activity, such bodies, entities and organizations fall within the definition of "the State".Article 14 is one of the most important Articles of the Indian constitution and it is also regarded as part of the golden triangle of the Constitution along with Article 19 and 21 .In India, this right is very important because there has been a widespread socio-economic difference which has been in existence from a long time. People have been discriminated on the basis of their gender or the religion they follow, therefore Article 14 was included in the Constitution to remove such inequalities and bring all the people under the equal protection of the law. Another important point about this Article is that it not only imposes a duty on the State to abstain from discriminating people but it also puts a positive duty totake such action by which the inequalities can be bridged between the people.
