Correct Answer:
B. Torture for extracting evidence
Article 14 of many constitutions, including Pakistan's, is fundamental to upholding human dignity and preventing inhumane treatment. It specifically addresses protections against certain abuses.
- Torture for extracting evidence is explicitly prohibited under Article 14, which states that the dignity of man and, subject to law, the privacy of home, shall be inviolable. This directly outlaws torture for investigative purposes.
- Arbitrary detention is primarily covered by Article 10.
- Forced exile relates more to freedom of movement, typically covered by Article 15.
- Retrospective punishment (ex post facto laws) is generally prohibited under Article 12.
