Right to Life and Personal Liberty under Constitution of India: A Legal Overlook of Recent Development
Main Article Content
Abstract
In every organized society, the rights as guaranteed by the established law to be measured as an individual are not guaranteed by meeting the needs of the animal alone. A person's right to life and personal freedom is fundamental to their existence. Its broader meaning encompasses all essential needs for survival, without which one could not possibly be able to exist. The concept of "right to life" encompasses much more than just continuing to breathe; it has many different meanings and rights. In order to fully understand the meaning of the rights to life and personal liberty, this paper will analyze the constitutional perspective and expand the scope of Article 21. This study also aims to review and evaluate the most recent ruling from the Apex Court in Maneka Gandhi v. Union of India, or Vishaka v. State of Rajasthan, orAruna Shanbaugh v. Union of India. By interfering in the process of interpreting the rights contained in Article 21, the study's scope has been expanded.
