Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the right to live with human dignity is a fundamental right under Article 21 of the Constitution of India. The Court emphasized that the State has a responsibility to ensure that establishments like 'Care Homes' provide minimum conditions that uphold human dignity for women and children. The Court directed the Bihar State Government to improve the living conditions of inmates in a 'Care Home' and provide suitable alternative accommodation expeditiously, highlighting the inadequacies of the current facilities.
