Which Fundamental Right under Part III of the Constitution guarantees protection of life and personal liberty, which the Kerala High Court and Supreme Court have expansively interpreted to include the right to a clean environment and livelihood?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Article 21 of the Constitution guarantees that no person shall be deprived of life or personal liberty except according to procedure established by law, which the judiciary has expansively interpreted to encompass environmental protection and livelihood. Fundamental rights under this article form the cornerstone of public interest litigation in India. Other provisions, such as Article 19, protect freedoms of speech and movement rather than right to life guarantees.
