79. Reference to Articles 256, 265 and 361 was made by the respondents to show that Article 21 is not the repository of rights to life and liberty. These references are irrelevant. Article 256 does not confer any right on any person. It deals with relations between the Union and the State. Article 265 has nothing to do with the right to personal liberty.
