The right to life and personal liberty is recognised as a fundamental right under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution. It is important to note that Article 21 has been interpreted quite inclusively by the Indian Supreme Court, reading into its ambit various rights such as the right to shelter, right to food, right to privacy and even the right to be free from the impacts of climate change. Importantly, in Common Cause v. Union of India (2023), the Supreme Court clarified that although the right to life does not include the right to die, it does include, within its scope, the right to die with dignity.
