Correct Answer: Articles 20 and 21


Solution : The correct answer is Articles 20 and 21.

During a national emergency in India, Article 20 and Article 21 maintain their inviolable status.

  • Article 20 ensures that individuals cannot be subjected to retrospective or ex post facto laws, meaning a person cannot be punished for an act that was not considered an offence when committed.
  • Article 21 guarantees the right to life and personal liberty, asserting that no person can be deprived of these rights except according to the procedure established by law.
