The UAPA detention operates as de facto preventive detention without the constitutional safeguards traditionally associated with such measures, thereby hollowing out the guarantees of personal liberty under Article 21. –Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/commentary/recipe-making-perpetual-accused.html Economic & Political Weekly AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 408293 IIPA IIPA 2026-04-27 61(6), Feb 7, 2026: p.17-19 AR138632 2026-04-27 AR
