Article 21 | Interim Bail Granted for Non-Urgent Surgical Implant Removal Due to Persistent Pain: Rajasthan HC
The Rajasthan High Court has ruled that persistent physical pain from surgically implanted medical devices, even when removal is not immediately life-threatening, constitutes a violation of the right to bodily integrity under Article 21. This sets a precedent for granting interim bail in cases where prolonged suffering in custody undermines human dignity, expanding the scope of medical necessity beyond emergency conditions.
