Analytical Exposition of 'Right to Life' with Reference to Judicial Decisions in Pakistan and India
The right to life is an integral right which basically is a necessary requisite to enjoy other rights. This paper begins with an overview of the basic and essential right in which the meaning of life is analyzed and then focuses on how the right to life gains importance in every legislative document and world's perspective to enhance its scope and also its application. On the one hand, this paper analyses the inviolable nature of this fundamental right, but on the flip side, it focuses on the non-absoluteness of this right. Moreover, this article discusses landmark cases decided by the Indian and Pakistani judiciary, which encompass such utilities and facilities that naturally a free-born person in a sovereign country is entitled to enjoy, but all such amenities are subjected to the law of their lands.
