What is a 'Living Will‘
A living will – also known as an advance directive – is a legal document that
specifies the type of medical care that an individual does or does not want in the
event that he is unable to communicate his wishes.
The Chief Justice, heading a five-judge Constitution Bench, was responding to a
debate on when exactly a person‘s ―living will‖ or advance directive for end-of-life
medical care should take effect
In the case of an unconscious person who suffers from a terminal illness or a life-
threatening injury, doctors and hospitals consult his living will to determine whether
or not the patient wants life-sustaining treatment, such as assisted breathing or tube
feeding.
In the absence of a living will, decisions about medical care become the
responsibility of the spouse, family members or other third parties.

Reference to Naxalism, the annual report of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), 2016-17
notes that there has been a reduction in violent incidents and violence-related deaths since 2013.
Alarmingly, there has been a 50% increase in encounters, a 122% increase in the ―elimination‖
of armed Maoist cadres, and a larger number of arrests and arms recoveries.
It is important to point out that a Central paramilitary force, not the State police, is at the forefront
against Naxal groups.
With the new funds, some may argue that the police need this ‗upgrading‘ in order to gradually phase
out the reliance on the paramilitary.
