Unless an individual is in possession of certain rights and liberties, he cannot attain the highest in him. Right to life and personal liberty are the most important gifts that can be enjoyed by a free human society. An ideal state should be one which can achieve the authority of the state and the liberty of the individual which would leave him the maximum liberty to plan, order and effect his growth development in all the fields of life and at the same time afford him the protection headed for this purpose, both from his fellow citizens and from forces outside the state. The right to life and personal liberty is the most fundamental of all Fundamental Rights guaranteed by the Constitution of India to the people in the country. Denial of this basic right means denial of all other rights because none of other rights would have any utility and existence without the right to life and personal liberty. The judiciary has extended the role and scope of Article 21 of the Constitution.
