Fundamental Rights
The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that every citizen has a fundamental right to walk on demarcated footpaths. The judgment holds that this right flows from constitutional guarantees of free movement, expression, assembly, association, and the right to life. It imposes a duty on public authorities to provide and maintain such infrastructure.
