Detailed Solution

The given statement is false. The judges in the case of Olga Tellis vs Bombay Municipal Corporation stated that the Right to Livelihood was part of the Right to Life. They stated that life is more than just an animal existence; it cannot be lived without a means of subsistence or "the means of livelihood." The judges agreed that eviction from a slum or pavement is a deprivation of means of livelihood for the poor who cannot afford to live elsewhere. They take on small jobs in the surrounding areas, and losing their pavement or slum means losing a job, which means losing a source of income. As a result, "life deprivation" occurs. This is how the judges linked the Right to Work to the Right to Life.
The correct statement is the judges in the case of Olga Tellis vs Bombay Municipal Corporation stated that the Right to Livelihood was part of the Right to Life.
