A group of citizens from a city have approached the court through a PIL asking for an order to the city municipal authorities to remove slums and beautify the city in order to attract investors to the city. They argue that this is in the ‘public interest.’ The residents of the slum localities have responded by saying that this will encroach on their right to life. They argue that right to life is more central to ‘public interest’ than the right to a clean city. Imagine that you are the judge. Write a judgement deciding if the PIL involves ‘public interest’.

I will give my judgement in favour of not removing slums as right to life is of utmost importance and we can't violate fundamental rights of people for beautification To protect the rights of poor and underprivileged is also one of the DPSP. Beautifying city at the cost of life of many does not involves public interest nd it is against the spirit of our constitution.
Although other steps on the part of govt can be taken..
Like replacing slum houses with concrete buildings nd giving the same to slum people( under urban shelter nd housing for marginalised program
