What right to security of person is provided in the constitution?
Article 09 of the constitution declares that no person shall be deprived of life or liberty saves in accordance with law.
This
right is the most important of all fundamental rights. It is the basis
of the “Rule of Law”. It declares that a person cannot be deprived of
his life or liberty except “In accordance with law”. No person can be
arrested, detained, or put under restraint except when a law authoresses
such arrest or restriction. It prevents arbitrary interference by the
executive with the liberty of individual. If so arrested, he can move
the court for a writ of habeas corpus. This right is available to all
persons, whether citizen or not.
The
first out of twenty rights conceded by the constitution relates to
person’s life and liberty. This Article state that life and liberty of
all the person in Pakistan shall be sacred and shall not be taken away
except in accordance with law authorizing violation of such right under
circumstances declared by such law to be appropriate for the purpose.
