Reasonable restriction
Reasonable restriction, the expression 'reasonable restriction' signifies that the limitation imposed on a person in enjoyment of the right should not be arbitrary or of an excessive nature, beyond what is required in the interests of the public. The test of reasonableness, wherever prescribed, should be applied to each individual statute impugned, and no abstract standard, or general pattern of reasonableness can be laid down as applicable in all cases. The restriction which arbitrarily or excessively invades the right cannot be said to contain the quality of reasonableness and unless it strikes a proper balance between the freedom guaranteed in art. 19(1)(g) and the social control permitted by cl. (6) of art. 19, it must be held to be wanting in that quality, Bishamber Dayal Chandra Mohan v. State of Uttar Pradesh, AIR 1982 SC 33 (35): (1982) 1 SCC 39: (1982) 1 SCR 1137.The expression 'reasonable restrictions' signifies that the limitation imposed on a person in enjoyment of that rig...
