A petition filed in the Delhi High Court requested an order to force-feed Sonam Wangchuk necessary nutrients while he continues his hunger strike. The court declined to issue such a directive, choosing instead to instruct officials to keep a close watch on his health and ensure he receives medical care if required. Currently, there is no specific legal framework in India that either permits or forbids the force-feeding of a competent adult. Under Article 21, individuals are guaranteed the protection of both their life and personal liberty.
