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...

Adequate and special reasons
Adequate and special reasons, in order to exercise the discretion of reducing the sentence the statutory requirement is that the court has to record 'adequate and special reasons' in the judgment and not fanciful reasons which would permit the court to impose a sentence less than the prescribed minimum. The reason has not only to be adequate but special. What is adequate and special would depend upon several factors and no straitjacket formula can be imposed, Bhupinder Sharma v. State of Himachal Pradesh, (2003) 8 SCC 551 (558). (Indian Penal Code, 1860, s. 376)--the expression 'adequate and special reasons'[ indicates that it is not enough to have special reasons, nor adequate reasons disjunctively. There should be a conjunction of both for enabling the court to invoke the discretion. Reasons which are general or common in many cases cannot be regarded as special reasons, Kamal Kishore v. State of Himachal Pradesh, AIR 2000 SC 1920 (1925). [Penal Code, 1860, s. 376(2), proviso]Means t...
