Description

Right to Freedom

Detailed in Articles 19 and 21, the Right to Freedom encompasses several essential liberties including freedom of speech and expression, assembly, association, movement, residence, and the right to practice any profession. These freedoms empower individuals to express their opinions, participate in public debates, and engage in the democratic process.

However, these rights are subject to reasonable restrictions in the interests of public order, security, decency, and morality. This balance ensures that individual freedoms do not compromise societal harmony or national security.

The dynamic interpretation of this right by the judiciary has further broadened its scope, adapting to evolving societal needs while maintaining the fundamental principle of individual liberty.

Summary

Guarantees a range of personal freedoms with reasonable restrictions to balance individual liberty and public order.
