Article 21 of the Indian Constitution

Article 21 of the Indian Constitution guarantees that no person shall be deprived of their life or personal liberty except according to a procedure established by law. This means every individual has the fundamental right to live freely and with dignity, and any restriction or deprivation must follow a lawful process. The article has been interpreted broadly by courts to include rights such as privacy, health, education, and a clean environment, emphasizing that personal liberty is essential and protected by law.
