Article 21 of the Constitution of India, 1950 provides that, “No person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to procedure established by law.” ‘Life’ in Article 21 of the Constitution is not merely the physical act of breathing. It does not connote mere animal existence or continued drudgery through life. It has a much wider meaning which includes right to live with human dignity, right to livelihood, right to health, right to pollution free air, etc.

Answer:
Civil Law

Explanation:
Civil law deals with disputes between individuals or organizations, including property disputes, contract disputes, and personal injury claims. In this case, the tenant is filing a case against the landlord for reasons related to the tenancy agreement, which falls under civil law.

The tenant may have several reasons for wanting to move out, such as a breach of contract by the landlord, failure to maintain the property, or illegal eviction. By filing a case in court, the tenant is seeking a legal resolution to their dispute with the landlord.

Civil law provides a framework for resolving disputes between parties. The court will hear both sides of the case and make a decision based on the evidence presented. The court may order the landlord to compensate the tenant for any damages suffered, or they may order the landlord to allow the tenant to move out without penalty.

In conclusion, the tenant's case against the landlord falls under civil law, which provides a legal process for resolving disputes between parties. The court will hear both sides of the case and make a decision based on the evidence presented, providing a fair and just resolution to the dispute.

Understanding Public Facilities
Public facilities are essential services and infrastructures provided by the government or public sector to meet the needs of the community. These facilities are crucial for promoting the welfare of society and ensuring equitable access to basic needs.
Definition of Public Facilities
- Public facilities refer to the infrastructure and services that are available to all members of the community without discrimination.
- Examples include electricity, public transport, schools, colleges, healthcare, parks, and sanitation services.
Importance of Public Facilities
- Accessibility: Public facilities ensure that all individuals, regardless of their socio-economic status, have access to essential services.
- Social Equity: They promote social equity by providing equal opportunities for education, health, and mobility, which are vital for personal and community development.
- Economic Development: Well-developed public facilities contribute to economic growth by improving the quality of life, attracting investments, and creating job opportunities.
Contrast with Other Facility Types
- Private Facilities: These are owned and operated by private individuals or organizations, often requiring payment for access, which limits their availability to a broader audience.
- Necessary Facilities: While this term may seem similar, it lacks the inclusivity and community-oriented focus that defines public facilities.
- Portable Facilities: These are temporary solutions, such as mobile clinics or temporary classrooms, which do not provide the same level of infrastructure as permanent public facilities.
Conclusion
Recognizing public facilities as a fundamental right is essential for fostering an inclusive society. They play a pivotal role in ensuring that every individual has the opportunity to thrive, contributing to the overall development of the nation.

Understanding Indian Secularism
Indian secularism is unique and fundamentally different from secularism in many Western nations. It is designed to accommodate the diverse religious identities of its citizens while ensuring that no single religion dominates the public sphere.
Key Aspects of Non-Interference
- Avoiding Favoritism: Indian secularism adopts a non-interference approach, meaning the state does not favor or discriminate against any religion. This ensures that all religious communities have equal rights and opportunities.
- Respect for Diversity: By choosing non-interference, the Indian state respects the rich tapestry of cultural and religious beliefs, allowing various communities to coexist peacefully without the fear of oppression or favoritism.
- Freedom of Religion: Non-interference fosters an environment where individuals can freely practice their religion without state intervention, promoting personal liberty and individual rights.
Preventing Domination
- Empowering Minorities: This strategy empowers religious minorities by ensuring they have the same rights as the majority. Non-interference prevents the majority from imposing their beliefs on others.
- Promoting Harmony: By not intervening in religious matters, the state helps maintain social harmony and reduces conflicts that may arise from religious intolerance.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Indian secularism's strategy of non-interference plays a crucial role in preventing any religious domination. It ensures that every community is respected and treated equally, fostering a peaceful coexistence among the diverse population of India.
