Explanation

In the Olga Tellis case (1985), popularly known as the 'Pavement Dwellers Case', the Supreme Court held that the Right to Life under Article 21 includes the Right to Livelihood. The court reasoned that if the right to livelihood is not treated as a part of the constitutional right to life, the easiest way of depriving a person of his life would be to deprive him of his means of livelihood.
