    Solution

    According to Article 21: “Protection of Life and Personal Liberty: No person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to procedure established by law.” ●      This fundamental right is available to every person, citizens and foreigners alike. ●      Article 21 provides two rights: ●      Right to life ●      Right to personal liberty ●      The fundamental right provided by Article 21 is one of the most important rights that the Constitution guarantees. ●      The Supreme Court of India has described this right as the ‘heart of fundamental rights’. The right specifically mentions that no person shall be deprived of life and liberty except as per the procedure established by law. This implies that this right has been provided against the State only. State here includes not just the government, but also, government departments, local bodies, the Legislatures, etc.
