Solution

The correct option is B 2 only

Explanation:

Statement 1 is correct: According to Article 21: “Protection of Life and Personal Liberty: No person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to procedure established by law.”This fundamental right is available to every person, citizens and foreigners alike.

Statement 2 is incorrect: Protection of Life and Personal Liberty enshrined under Article 21 is not an absolute right. The State can impose restrictions on it but it should be fair, reasonable and just, and as per the procedure established by law.
