History

Historical Context

During Indira Gandhi’s 1975-77 Emergency, the 1971 Maintenance of Internal Security Act enabled mass arrests; the Supreme Court’s 1976 ADM Jabalpur ruling upheld the act, with Justice H.R. Khanna dissenting, and about 1,000 political prisoners were recorded that year. In October 2024, the Delhi High Court similarly upheld a INR10,000 peace-bond on AISA president Neha Bora, reviving the same preventive-detention debate.
