Yes, there are protections for individuals who are arrested or detained under laws providing preventive detention. According to Article 22(4) of the Indian Constitution, no law providing for preventive detention shall authorize the detention of a person for a longer period than three months unless an Advisory Board consisting of persons who are, or have been, or are qualified to be appointed as, Judges of a High Court has reported before the expiration of the said period of three months that there is in its opinion sufficient cause for such detention.
