The Right to Maintenance and Improvement of Public Health is included in which Article of the Indian Constitution ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
The Supreme Court has read the right to health, including the maintenance and improvement of public health, into the right to life under Article 21, for example in Parmanand Katara v. Union of India (1989) and Paschim Banga Khet Mazdoor Samity v. State of West Bengal (1996).
Article 47, a Directive Principle, also speaks of improving public health, but among the Articles given only Article 21 carries this right; Articles 19, 20 and 22 deal with freedoms, protection on conviction and arrest.
