Expanding Horizons Of Right To Life And Personal Liberty

Expanding Horizons of Right to Life and Personal Liberty offers a comprehensive, multi-dimensional study of Article 21 and related constitutional protections. The book opens with a doctrinal history of the right to life and personal liberty, then examines major strands of modern expansion: human dignity, privacy, health and medical care, reproductive autonomy, mental-health safeguards, livelihood and environmental determinants of life, and procedural protections including habeas corpus and fair trial standards. Each thematic chapter combines authoritative case law summaries, doctrinal analysis, and comparative perspectives from other constitutional systems. Practical sections translate doctrine into action with litigation strategies, sample habeas corpus pleadings, compliance checklists for public authorities, and policy templates for legislators and NGOs. Special chapters explore tensions—public health emergencies, national security, and proportionality review—offering balanced frameworks for restriction and remediation. The concluding section makes concrete reform proposals to strengthen institutional safeguards for life and liberty, emphasizing access to remedy, socio-economic parity, and rights-respecting administrative practice. Written to serve scholars, practitioners and policy-makers alike, the volume bridges theory and practice to equip readers to defend and advance the right to life in the 21st century.
