In the Olga Tellis vs Bombay Municipal Corporation case, the judges implied that the Right to Livelihood is a part of the Right to Life by:
1. Interpreting Right to Life: Stating that the Right to Life in Article 21 encompasses a dignified life beyond mere survival.
2. Emphasizing Livelihood Importance: Highlighting that denying opportunities to earn a living violates an individual’s right to live with dignity.
3. Integral Component: Asserting that the right to earn a livelihood is fundamental for a decent life, making it an intrinsic part of the broader Right to Life guaranteed by the Constitution.
