Article 21 | No Absolute Right to Specialised Medical Care or Freedom from Solitary Confinement Without Proof of Custodial Harm : Madras HC
Madras High Court rules that solitary confinement does not violate Article 21 without evidence of unlawful isolation, and specialised medical care is not mandatory if a Medical Board confirms stable health. The judgment reinforces that prison authorities retain discretion unless custodial conditions demonstrably endanger life or dignity.
