Explanation:

Article 21 of Constitution of India – “No person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to procedure established by law.”The Indian judiciary has included under the umbrella of Right to life and liberty, Right to free and fair trial, Right to privacy, Right to clean environment, Right to food, sleep and even electricity. The courts have not limited the ambit of life to the above rights but also to a plethora of others.The question of interpretation of this paltry worded provision (Article 21) possessing immense importance came before the Supreme Court as early as in 1953 in the case of A.K. Gopalan v. State of Madras.
