Analyzing Health as Fundamental Right & Article 21
This section evaluates the correctness of the given Assertion (A) and Reason (R) regarding the Right to Health.
Assertion (A): Health is a Fundamental Right
Assertion (A) is correct. While the Constitution doesn't explicitly list 'Right to Health' as a distinct Fundamental Right, the Supreme Court of India has consistently interpreted the scope of existing Fundamental Rights, particularly the Right to Life, to encompass the Right to Health.
Reason (R): Article 21 Interpretation Includes Right to Health
Reason (R) is correct. Article 21 guarantees the 'Right to Life and Personal Liberty'. Various judgments by the Indian judiciary have expanded the meaning of this right.
- Courts have held that the Right to Life implies a right to live with dignity.
- This includes access to essential healthcare, clean environment, and medical facilities.
- Therefore, the Right to Health is considered an integral part of the Right to Life under Article 21.
Correct Explanation Check
Reason (R) provides the specific legal basis (interpretation of Article 21) for why Assertion (A) is considered true in the Indian context. The judicial pronouncements mentioned in (R) are the foundation for recognizing health as a fundamental aspect of the right to life.
Conclusion: Both (A) and (R) are correct, and (R) serves as the correct explanation for (A).
