Which one of the following fundamental rights has not been provided to a person?

The correct answer is Option 2. This question pertains to Article 20 of the Indian Constitution, which provides protection against arbitrary and excessive punishment.

• Option 1 refers to the protection against Double Jeopardy (Article 20(2)), which is a guaranteed fundamental right.
• Option 4 refers to the prohibition of Ex-post facto laws (Article 20(1)), also a fundamental right.
• Option 3 is phrased as a prohibition (Right against Self-incrimination under Article 20(3)), meaning a person cannot be compelled to be a witness against themselves.

Option 2 is the correct choice because the Supreme Court, in cases like State of Bombay v. Kathi Kalu Oghad, ruled that the "right against self-incrimination" only covers oral or written statements conveying personal knowledge. It does NOT extend to physical evidence like handwriting samples, thumb impressions, or blood samples. Therefore, refusing to provide a handwriting sample is not a fundamental right.
