Right to life and Personal Liberty is guaranteed by Indian Constitution’s:

(A) Article 21

(B) Article 14

(D) Article 17 (b)

Correct Ans: (A)

Explanation:
Article 21 of the Indian Constitution guarantees the Right to Life and Personal Liberty to all individuals. This fundamental right prevents the government from depriving anyone of their life or liberty, except through a procedure established by law. Over the years, the Supreme Court of India has expanded the interpretation of Article 21 to include derived rights, such as the right to privacy, the right to live with dignity, the right to a clean environment, and the right to health and education. This makes Article 21 a cornerstone of India’s human rights framework.
