Question

Which fundamental right has been reported by the Supreme Court to include within its fold the right to livelihood ?

A.

Right to freedom

B.

Right to Equality

C.

Right to Life

D.

Right against Exploitation

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Right to Life.
The Supreme Court of India has interpreted the right to life, enshrined in Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, to include the right to livelihood. This means that the government has a duty to ensure that all citizens have access to the basic necessities of life, such as food, water, shelter, and clothing.
In several landmark judgments, the Supreme Court has held that the right to livelihood is essential for the enjoyment of the right to life. For example, in the case of Olga Tellis v. Bombay Municipal Corporation (1985), the Supreme Court held that the right to livelihood includes the right to work and earn a living, and that the government cannot deprive a person of their livelihood without following due process of law.
The Supreme Court's interpretation of the right to life has had a significant impact on the lives of millions of Indians. It has helped to ensure that the government takes steps to protect the livelihoods of its citizens, and it has given hope to those who are struggling to make ends meet.
