The Supreme Court of India recognized the Right to Food under Article 21 of the Constitution in the PUCL vs. Union of India case. The court mandated several orders ensuring food and nutrition for the poor, like the distribution of grains from government stocks.
In 2001, in response to a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by PUCL, the Supreme Court ruled that the Right to Food is part of the right to life. They issued interim orders ensuring the implementation of various food schemes.
Right to Food got judicial backing in India with the Supreme Court's landmark orders in the early 2000s. Ensured food programs reach everyone in need.
