Personal liberty under Article 21 was prima facie infringed when GST authorities arrested a petitioner who had appeared with records pursuant to a court direction in pending proceedings. The arrest authorisation omitted the direction and appearance, relied on routine grounds considered misplaced, and reflected a discrepancy between the summons time and later generation of its DIN, indicating possible manipulation. Interim release was directed, subject to passport surrender and travel conditions, while officers were required to explain their conduct before any disciplinary recommendation. The interim relief did not determine the merits of the pending proceedings.
