Hyderabad, Jan. 17: A minor girl from Mothkur village in Nalgonda district submitted to the High Court that Article 21 of the Constitution — Right to Life — is also applicable to minors.
The girl who got married to her lover sent a letter to a police station referring to the direction of a sessions court in Delhi that Article 21 will be equally applicable to minors as well as the majors. The court said no one could interfere in the peaceful enjoyment of life by minors.
