Correct Answer: Article 22


Solution : The correct answer is Article 22.

Article 22 of the Indian Constitution (1950) safeguards the rights of individuals arrested. It ensures that a person, upon arrest, must be promptly informed of the grounds for arrest and has the right to consult and be defended by a legal practitioner of their choice. Additionally, anyone arrested must be brought before the nearest magistrate within 24 hours, excluding travel time, and cannot be held in custody beyond this period without magistrate authorisation.
