    Consider the following statements:

    1. AOnly 1
    2. BOnly 1 and 2
    3. COnly 1 and 3
    4. DNone of the above
    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: D

    All three statements are wrong. 'Procedure Established by Law' is expressly written into Article 21, so statement 1 misstates it as absent. 'Due Process of Law' is the American doctrine and is not mentioned in the Indian Constitution, so statement 2 is false. Statement 3 reverses the definitions: due process tests whether a law is just and reasonable, while procedure established by law only checks that a valid procedure was followed.
