Article 21 (right to life aur liberty) mein kya-kya aata hai?

Simple answer

Kisi vyakti se uska life ya personal liberty sirf law mein tay procedure se hi chheeni ja sakti hai, aur woh procedure fair aur reasonable hona chahiye. Courts ne Article 21 mein dignity se jeena, rozi-roti, privacy, emergency ilaaj, speedy trial aur free legal aid ko shamil maana hai.

Real-life examples

Arjun Mumbai mein footpath par sabzi bechta hai. Municipal corporation use bina notice raaton-raat nahi hata sakta, kyunki rozi-roti right to life ka hissa hai. Lekin law mein tay fair procedure follow karke hata sakta hai.

Joseph road accident mein buri tarah ghayal hain. Paas ka hospital pehle police formalities ke naam par emergency ilaaj se mana nahi kar sakta. Unki jaan bachana pehle hai.

Rahul ko theft case mein legal tarike se arrest kiya jaata hai. Article 21 legal arrest nahi rokta, lekin use torture se bachata hai aur fair aur speedy trial ka right deta hai.

Aapko kya karna chahiye?

1Kisi ki jaan khatre mein ho toh sabse pehle 112 par call karo.
2Medical emergency mein paas ke hospital se turant ilaaj maango; paperwork aur police formalities baad mein ho sakti hain.
3Agar kisi ko illegal tarike se detain kiya gaya hai, toh lawyer High Court mein habeas corpus petition file kar sakta hai.
4Custody mein torture ya police violence ho toh State ya National Human Rights Commission mein complaint karo aur medical records sambhal ke rakho.

Exceptions aur zaroori baatein

Article 21 absolute nahi hai. Sarkar kisi valid law ke under fair procedure follow karke arrest, detain ya evict kar sakti hai.
Ye mainly State ke against protection deta hai. Private logon se hue nuksaan ke liye usually criminal aur civil laws lagu hote hain.
