Question

The Supreme Court in ____________ case held that Article $21$ does not include right to die.

• A. P. Rathinam/ Nagabhusan Patnaik vs. Union of India
• B. Dr. M. Ismail Faruqui vs. Union of India
• C. K. Karunakaran vs. State of U.P.
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A P. Rathinam/ Nagabhusan Patnaik vs. Union of India

In P. Rathinam v Union of India case, the Supreme court decided that euthanasia is not legally valid in the state of India. It's an offence. Right to live doesn't enumerate right to die. It's a different concept. Mercy killing is void as of justice .
