The Constitution allows preventive detention but stipulates :

1. that no one should be detained beyond three months unless an Advisory Board authorises detention beyond that period
2. that the grounds for detention should be conveyed to the detenu before arresting him
3. that the detenu must be produced before the nearest magistrate within a period of 24 hours of his arrest
4. all of the above

Correct Option: A

Article 22 (4) provides that no law providing for preventive detention shall authorise the detention of a person for a longer period than 3 months unless an Advisory Board consisting of persons who are, or have been, or are qualified to be appointed as Judges of a High Court, has reported before the expiration of the said period of 3 months that there is in it's opinion sufficient cause for such detention.
