These restrictive laws and restrictions can be broadly categorized under the following heads:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Preventive Detention Cases: <\/strong>In AK Gopalan v State of Madras case, Preventive detention laws under Art 22 were upheld by the Supreme Court which was alleged to violate the freedom of movement.<\/li><li><strong>Preventive Restriction Cases:<\/strong> Externment Laws and Orders are used by law enforcement agencies to direct a person to leave a particular area. For example, Goonda laws of various States continue to give the local administration the power to extern people who are declared as \u2018goondas\u2019.<\/li><li><strong>Public Morality Related Restrictions:<\/strong> In State of U.P v. Kausalya, the Hon\u2019ble Court has held that the right of movement of prostitutes may be restricted on the grounds of public health which is a subject of general public interest.<\/li><li><strong>Public Health Related Restrictions: <\/strong>To prevent the spread of Covid-19 virus, Government restricted the the exercise of right to movement by invoking various laws such as National Disaster Management Authority Act (NDMA) 2005, the Epidemic Diseases Act, 1897, along with Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.<\/li><li><strong>Restrictions on General Physical Movement: <\/strong>Inner Line permit system was devised to empower the State to impose restrictions upon the entry of outsiders to tribal areas. Even Guwahati High, in Dhan Bahadur GhortI vs State of Assam case held that the allowing individuals to move into and reside in the premises of Scheduled Tribes would affect their very existence.<\/li><li><strong>National Security &amp; Public Interest: <\/strong>Under the provisions of the Official Secrets Act, 1923, a person is denied access to \u201cprohibited places\u201d, restricting the right to free movement. These restrictions have been imposed to preserve the security of the State .in the interest of the general public.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reasonable restrictions imposed by the state on the exercise of \u201cRight of movement and residence\u201d must qualify the \u201cTest of Proportionality Doctrine\u201d for its enforceability .
