The case *Additional District Magistrate, Jabalpur v. Shivakant Shukla* (1976), popularly known as the “Habeas Corpus case,” dealt directly with the right to file a writ petition for Habeas Corpus during the Proclamation of Emergency under Article 359 of the Constitution. In this controversial judgment, a majority of the Supreme Court held that during the Emergency, a person’s right to move any court for the enforcement of fundamental rights under Articles 14, 21, and 22, including the right to Habeas Corpus challenging unlawful detention, stood suspended.
The ADM Jabalpur case is the most significant and contentious judgment concerning the writ of Habeas Corpus, specifically its availability during a state of emergency and the suspension of fundamental rights.
The other cases listed deal with different constitutional rights: State of U.P. v. Raj Narain related to election law and the subsequent declaration of Emergency; Maneka Gandhi v. Union of India expanded the scope of Article 21 and due process; Nandini Satpathy v. P.L. Dani related to the right against self-incrimination (Article 20(3)).
