Laws that are used to routinely de-house people co-exist with progressive 'right to shelter' jurisprudence from courts. From time to time, a need is felt to enact a legislation guaranteeing the right in order to settle its position in the law, and draft statutes abound. This book, on constructing a legal right to housing in India, seeks to achieve three ends: first, to examine the costs incurred in translating a moral right into the language of the law; second, to unpack the ways in which existing laws and policies impact the realisation of the right to housing and situate any attempt to legally guarantee the right within this context; and finally, to begin thinking through the many complexities that will arise should the right be articulated within the law. A comprehensive chronology of central housing law and policy provides the descriptive background for this analytical text, while also acting as a rich introductory resource on the subject.
