Kralove parallels between laws on independent India, slavery in the United States and criminal tribes in colonial India, the main judge of India Bhushan Ramkrishn Gavai said on Saturday that “the legality itself does not provide justice or justice” of the law.
“It is important to realize that just because it is legalized, it does not mean that it is only. History offers numerous examples of this painful truth. For example, slavery was once legal in many parts of the world, including the United States.
Cje spoke in the presence of Dharamber Gokhol, GCSK, President of Mauritius of the Republic; Navinchandra Ramgoool, Prime Minister Mauritius; and Rehana Mungly Gulbul, chief judge Mauritius.
He stressed that the Indian Constitution distinguished between what was obviously legal and what was actually fair or fair. The constitutional provisions concerning the judiciary, said, were framed with a sense of “idealism”, which ensures that the courts will act as a control against the undue performance of power by the legislature and the executive.
He described Article 32 – the right to address the Supreme Court for enforcement of fundamental rights – as the “heart and soul” of the Constitution.
“This provision embodies the very principle that the law must serve justice, protect the vulnerable and ensure that the power is responsible and ethically performed,” CJI said.
The leader emphasized the importance of the rule of law in the political sphere and stated that he served as a scale of good administration of public and social progress, unlike the wrong government and injustice, where institutions and public officials could otherwise avoid responsibility.
“The lawful rule of law has been ripened as the main principle of judiciary and formed its approach to testing the validity of laws and interpreted constitutional mandates,” he said, recalling the basic structure of the Supreme Court, where he most stopped his basic structure.
The chief judge added that the rule of law must not be considered a strict doctrine, but as an ongoing conversation across generations, “among judges and citizens, parliaments and nations, nations and their history”.
“The point is how we follow dignified and how to solve the inevitable conflicts of freedom and authority in a democratic society,” he stressed.
