Explanation
Additional District Magistrate, Jabalpur v. Shivakant Shukla (1976) is famously known as the Habeas Corpus case, in which the majority held that during the Emergency the right to move the court for habeas corpus stood suspended. State of U.P. v. Raj Narain concerned election law, Maneka Gandhi due process under Article 21, and Nandini Satpathy the right against self-incrimination. Hence option B deals with habeas corpus.
