Olga Tellis & Ors. v. Bombay Municipal Corporation & Ors. (1985) 3 SCC 545 is a leading case on which issue?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Olga Tellis v. Bombay Municipal Corporation concerned the eviction of pavement and slum dwellers in Bombay. The Supreme Court recognized that the right to life includes livelihood, because losing the means of subsistence can make life impossible. That recognition did not create an unrestricted right to occupy public pavements; the case addressed the livelihood consequences and lawful procedure surrounding eviction.
