Man has been bestowed with certain birth rights which are integral part of his very existence into society. The State has the responsibility to safeguard these birth rights and under Constitution of India these rights have been embedded as Fundamental Rights. The worthy framers of the Constitution did not intend to confine these Fundamental Rights in four walls of codified provisions. Judiciary widened the scope of these Fundamental Rights and added new dimensions to Article 21, Right to life. This Right to life includes right of the prisoners to live with dignity, self-respect and gave them a new hope of their rehabilitation. Further. Article 21 also includes Conjugal Rights as new version for reformation of prisoners. This interpretation under Right to Life has paved a way for persons behind the bars to reintegrate into normal social life after being released from the prison. It also addresses women prisoners who have been subjected to the law of the land but her Right of Enjoyment of her Right to Life and to Live in livable environment also includes the Conjugal Rights to save the family and the society.
