Philoid · Accepted Answer

The judges in the Olga Tellis Vs Bombay Municipal Corporation said that the Right to Livelihood was part of Right to life as no person can live without the means of living. The Right of Life conferred by Article 21 is wide and far reaching. Life means something more than mere animal existence. This is how the judges connected Right to Livelihood to the Right to Life.
