Article 21 in the Time of Lockdown
constitutional cuet_pg advanced case_analysisAmit, a 25-year-old student, lives with his non-elderly grandparents in a small rented room in Delhi. The Delhi government imposes a sudden 21-day lockdown due to COVID-19, restricting essential services and movement. Amit's grandparents rely on him for their daily needs, but he's been unable to buy them necessary medicines and groceries since the lockdown. Amit approaches the Delhi High Court, claiming a violation of his fundamental right to life under Article 21.
What legal remedy does Amit have? Can the High Court just give him an order to provide food and medicine to his grandparents, or is it more complex than that?
