Option 2 : Article 21

Under Article 21, the Supreme Court directed the West Bengal government to pay compensation to Hakim Sheikh under Right to health.

  • Every citizen of India can approach the Supreme Court or the High Court if they believe that their Fundamental Rights have been violated.
  • For example, the case of Hakim Sheikh, an agricultural labourer who fell from a running train and injured himself and whose condition got worse because several hospitals refused to admit him.
  • On hearing his case, the Supreme Court ruled that Article 21 which provides every citizen the Fundamental Right to Life also includes the Right to Health.

  • The Supreme Court, therefore, directed the West Bengal government to pay him compensation for the loss suffered as well as to come up with a blueprint for primary health care with particular reference to treatment of patients during an emergency.

Therefore, the correct answer is - Article 21.
