6.10.4.2. A.K. Gopalan Case (1950)

The Supreme Court held that due process of law is not available in India. Hence, it implied that the right only protects life and liberty of an individual from arbitrary executive action, and not from legislative action. Further, it was enough if the procedure was followed and the courts could not inquire into the reasonableness of the procedure.
