A moral principle known as the Right to Life is predicated on the notion that the right to life is inherent in every human being and cannot be restricted by any entity, including the state. It stands as a Fundamental right much interpreted by the Supreme Court, adding new meanings, expanded content and connotations in the passage of time. The right to life was redefined by the Supreme Court to encompass the concept of human dignity. The law places a great value on a man's liberty, and it should not be restricted unless absolutely necessary. Article 21 of the Indian Constitution guarantees "the right to life and liberty". Article 21 addresses the protection of life and personal liberty as a fundamental right. No one may be deprived of these unless the legal process is followed. In a democratic society, "the Right to Life and Liberty" is a fundamental constitutional principle.
