GURBACHAN SINGH vs THE STATE OF BOMBAY AND ANOTHER.

The Supreme Court held that Section 27(1) of the City of Bombay Police Act, 1902, does not violate Article 19(1)(d) of the Constitution, as the restrictions imposed are reasonable and serve the public interest. The Court emphasized that the assessment of reasonableness includes both procedural and substantive aspects of the law. In this case, the externment order directing the petitioner to move from Greater Bombay to Kalyan was upheld as valid, given the subsequent agreement to the change of location by the Commissioner of Police.
