Article 21 difference between "personal" liberty and "individual" liberty

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 09 November 2010 This query is : Resolved
Article 21 has the phrase "personal" liberty and not "individual" liberty. What would have been the difference in the meaning for the purpose of interpretation, if it had been "individual" liberty instead of "personal" liberty?

Personal is a word with significance. It refers specifically to a person objectively. But the word individual does not mean the same thing. The appropriate word is personal only and not the word individual.

I agree with Mr.Subramanian who had well clarified.

Dear Aman,
The query was asked by Anonymous and it is for him/her to say whether the query is solved. How come you say that the query is solved (unless you are the said Anonymous)?

Yes Mr. R. Ramachandran is absolutely correct. Such unnecessary replies do not reflect well on Experts in this column of LCI. I am closing this query again and there is no need to open it again unless any expert is adding any further value to the query. I am already satisfied with replies given by all Experts above except Mr. Aman Kumar as his replies are not adding any value to the query.
