It was initially promulgated as a [[Presidential ordinance]], the ''Defence of India Ordinance, 1962'' on 28 October that year under the authority of which the ''Defence of India Rules'' were enacted. In December 1962, the [[Indian Parliament]] enacted the ''Defence of India act, 1962'' which consolidated the continued application of the ordinance as law.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web |title=THE DEFENCE OF INDIA ACT, 1962 |url=http://legislative.gov.in/actsofparliamentfromtheyear/defence-india-act-1962 |accessdate=16 April 2020}}&lt;/ref&gt; The act consisted of 156 rules that &quot;regulated virtually all aspects of life&quot; including travel, finance, trade, communication, publication etc and were essentially identical to the [[Defence of India act, 1939]] enacted during [[World War II]].&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book |last1=Omar |first1=Imtiaz |title=Emergency Powers and the Courts in India and Pakistan |date=2002 |publisher=Martinus Nijhoff Publishers |pages=89–93}}&lt;/ref&gt; The act suspended the [[Fundamental rights in India|Fundamental rights]] of any person held under the act, and specifically Rule 30 of the act allowed the government to hold any person in detention without explanation suspending the right under the [[article 22 of Constitution of India]], without the right to representation, and without the provisions of ''[[Habeas corpus]]''.<br /> <br /> The act was infamous in having been used on Indians of Chinese ethnicity during and after the 1962 Sino-India war. Many of them were taken from border towns in Northeast India like Darjeeling and Kalimpong along with other Chinese Indians living in Assam and Kolkata, and incarcerated in a detention camp in Deoli, in the state of Rajasthan.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news |last1=Tariq Engineer |title=Every country does well by confronting its history |url=https://mumbaimirror.indiatimes.com/others/things-to-do/every-country-does-well-by-confronting-its-history/articleshow/73882402.cms |accessdate=16 April 2020 |publisher=Mumbai Mirror}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> The act was also used during emergency against those who opposed emergency but two months later high court acquitted all arrested under this act.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Defence of India Act, 1915]]<br /> *[[Internment of Chinese-Indians]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Defence Of India Act 1962}}<br /> [[Category:Indian legislation]]<br /> [[Category:1962 in India]]<br /> [[Category:1962 in law]]<br /> [[Category:Sino-Indian War]]</div>
