Right to Life

Right to Life – GS Paper -2 (Polity)

The two brothers from the Scheduled Caste community have asked the High Court to order the CBSE to amend their father’s last name on their Class 10 and 12 certificates. 

The siblings argued in court that their father had changed his last name from Mochi to Nayak because of the frequent caste injustices he had to endure. There is no doubting that the right to life also involves the right to live honourably, which includes the right to be free from casteism.

It also includes the right to rest and good health, as well as the right to live and sleep in peace.
