For example, Pocker Sahib, who was troubled by the practices under the Government of India Act, 1935, sought to include a proviso in the draft article stating such ordinance shall not deprive any citizen of his right to personal liberty except on conviction after trial by a competent court of law.	cache/cjal-3296.pdf	txt/cjal-3296.txt
