23. For the common person, access to courts is access to justice. The courts exercise a crucial role
in interpreting the Fundamental Rights of citizens and as you saw in the above case, the courts
interpreted Article 21 of the Constitution on the Right to Life to include the Right to Food. They,
therefore, ordered the State to take certain steps to provide food for all including the mid-day
meal scheme.
However, there are also court judgments that people believe work against the best interests of
the common person. For example, activists who work on issues concerning the right to shelter
and housing for the poor believe that the recent judgments on evictions are a far cry from earlier
judgments. While recent judgments tend to view the slum dweller as an encroacher in the city,
earlier judgments (like the 1985 Olga Tellis vs Bombay Municipal Corporation) had tried to protect
the livelihoods of slum dwellers.
