The case of Parmanand Katara v. Union of India (1989) is primarily associated with which of the following rights ?
Answer: A
The case is primarily associated with the right to emergency medical care.
In Parmanand Katara v. Union of India (1989) the Supreme Court held that every doctor, in a government or private hospital, has a professional obligation to give immediate medical aid to an injured person to preserve life, without waiting for police formalities in medico-legal cases.
The Court grounded this in Article 21, which is why 'Right to life and personal liberty' is a tempting option, but that is the general right; the specific right the case established is emergency medical treatment. The right to a clean environment and the right to a speedy trial come from other lines of cases, such as the M.C. Mehta and Hussainara Khatoon decisions.
