ABSTRACT
The purpose of this research is to give an overview of the extraordinary laws in India, and how these laws are used by the state. We also look into how the extraordinary laws are justified in the name of the security of the state. And also analyse whether the nature of these laws are antithetical to the idea of democracy and freedom. The study gives a brief understanding of what is extraordinary law and the justification for its existence.
Keywords: extraordinary law, civil liberties, state, security, India.
