Right to life under article 21

Important constitutional case -3 Evolution of Due Process of Law in India- 1️⃣ Constituent Assembly (1946–49) • Draft Constitution originally had “Due Process of Law” • Inspired by USA ❌ Removed deliberately Why? • Fear of: • Judicial overreach • Courts blocking socio-economic reforms ✅ Replaced with: “Procedure established by law” (Article 21) ⸻ 2️⃣ A.K. Gopalan v. State of Madras (1950) 📌 First major interpretation of Article 21 • Supreme Court held: • Procedure established by law = any procedure enacted by legislature • Court cannot examine fairness or reasonableness • Articles 14, 19, 21 read separately ❌ No due process ❌ No substantive rights 👉 Formal, narrow interpretation ⸻ 3️⃣ Maneka Gandhi v. Union of India (1978) 🔥 TURNING POINT This is where due process enters India indirectly. SC held: • Procedure under Article 21 must be: • Just • Fair • Reasonable • Articles 14, 19, and 21 are interconnected 📌 Effect: Substantive Due Process introduced WITHOUT changing the text ⸻ 4️⃣ Post-Maneka Expansion (1980s onwards) Article 21 became a repository of rights: Recognised as part of “life & personal liberty”: • Right to livelihood • Right to privacy • Right to legal aid • Right against custodial torture • Right to speedy trial • Right to clean environment 👉 Due process now deeply embedded in Indian constitutional law ⸻ 5️⃣ Justice K.S. Puttaswamy (2017) • Explicitly acknowledged: • India follows substantive due process • Overruled the Gopalan logic completely • Privacy declared a fundamental right 📌 Due process now settled doctrine
