Goodafternoon all,
Article 32 of the Indian Constitution talks about Right to Constitutional Remedies

its Core Purpose - it guarantees the "Right to Constitutional Remedies," enabling individuals to approach the Supreme Court directly for enforcement of their fundamental rights.

it is Known as the “heart and soul of the Constitution” by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, this Article ensures the protection of fundamental rights.

Right to Approach the Court: Article 32 gives citizens the right to directly petition the Supreme Court if any fundamental rights are violated.

The Supreme Court can issue five types of writs under Article 32:
1. Habeas Corpus – Protects against unlawful detention.
2. Mandamus – Commands a public authority to perform its duty.
3. Prohibition – Restricts lower courts from exceeding jurisdiction.
4. Certiorari – Orders transfer of a case from a lower court to a higher authority.
5. Quo Warranto – Challenges the legality of a person's public office.

Article 32 applies only to fundamental rights, distinguishing it from Article 226, where High Courts can address both fundamental rights and legal rights violations.


Thus Article 32 is pivotal to judicial review in India, allowing the Supreme Court to protect citizens' rights from any arbitrary actions by the state.
It also supports the principle of “rule of law” by checking legislative and executive powers.

Now Solve PYQ from 2022 -

Q. With reference to the writs issued by the Courts in India, consider the following statements:​
1. Mandamus will not lie against a private organization unless it is entrusted with a public duty. ​

3. Any public minded person can be a petitioner to move the Court to obtain the writ of Quo Warranto. ​

Good afternoon all, today we will see Article 31 -

Article 31: Right to Property originally protected an individual’s right to property, prohibiting the State from depriving any person of property except through lawful authority and with compensation for acquisition or requisition.
• Amendments and Changes:
• First Amendment (1951): Introduced Article 31A & Article 31B to protect land reforms and prevent legal challenges on grounds of property rights.
• Twenty-Fifth Amendment (1971): Replaced “compensation” with “amount” payable by the State, reducing emphasis on fair market value and expanding State powers.
• Forty-Fourth Amendment (1978): Repealed Article 31, removing the fundamental right to property from Part III of the Constitution.

• Post-1978, the right to property is a constitutional/legal right under Article 300A in Part XII, rather than a fundamental right, allowing the State to regulate property in the public interest while balancing individual rights.
• Impact of Repeal: The shift from fundamental to legal status aims to prioritize public welfare, facilitating land acquisition for development projects while maintaining legal recourse for property owners.

Recent Development(Nov 2024) - In a significant ruling impacting citizens' property rights, the Supreme Court declared that not all privately-owned properties qualify as "material resources of the community."
Consequently, the State cannot acquire private properties solely in the name of serving the common good.
Thus, not all private property would fall within the ambit of Article 39(b) for government acquisition to serve the “common good”.

Impact - The majority ruling reflects India’s shift from extensive state control to a liberalized economy encouraging private wealth. Balancing social welfare with property rights, the Supreme Court supports economic growth while indicating that future cases of property acquisition will be judged individually.


Note - You can expect one mains question on this topic in mains 2025 wrt implications of judgement.

Now solve PYQ from 1982

Rights of minorities to establish and administer institutions

Article 30: Rights of Minorities to Establish and Administer Educational Institutions.

1. Scope of Article 30: Grants religious and linguistic minorities the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice. This ensures that minority communities can preserve their culture, language, and religion through education.

2. Protection Against Discrimination: The State cannot discriminate against minority-run institutions when granting aid based on their religious or linguistic status.

3. Autonomy in Administration: Minority institutions have administrative autonomy in aspects like admissions, curriculum, and management, which fosters independence but must adhere to regulations promoting fairness and public interest.

4. Landmark Judgments:
a. St. Stephen’s College v. University of Delhi (1992): Allowed minority institutions to prioritize students from their community in admissions, provided the process is fair.
b. T.M.A. Pai Foundation v. State of Karnataka (2002): Reinforced the rights of minority institutions to establish and administer institutions without state interference, provided it adheres to general educational standards.

Limitations: While minorities have the right to autonomy, they are subject to regulatory frameworks ensuring academic standards and merit-based admissions.

Good afternoon all,
Today we will deal about Cultural and Educational rights - Article 29

Article 29 talks about -
Protection of Minority Interests (Article 29)

Article 29 of the Indian Constitution aims to protect the cultural, educational, and identity rights of minority groups.

2.Non-Discrimination in Education:

Important Judicial Interpretations:
1. D.A.V. College, Jalandhar v. State of Punjab (1971): The SC ruled that setting up a university and teaching the Punjabi language did not violate the right to preserve cultural identity under Article 29(1).

2. St. Stephen's College v. University of Delhi (1992):
It was held that minority institutions have the right to reserve seats for students from their own community, provided the admissions are fair and transparent.

The court upheld the autonomy of minority institutions in administration and admissions, affirming their right to maintain their distinct identity.

4. Animal Welfare Board v. Union of India (Jallikattu case): In a 2023 ruling, the SC upheld the traditional sport of Jallikattu as a cultural right under Article 29, overturning a 2014 ban and permitting the activity under state law amendments.

Good afternoon all, Today we will learn about
Article 28 - Freedom Regarding Religious Instruction in Educational Institutions.

Article 28 of the Indian Constitution ensures the secular nature of state-funded educational institutions and protects individuals' choices regarding religious instruction.

Key points include:
1. Secular Education in State-Funded Institutions: Educational institutions fully funded by the state cannot provide religious instruction, preserving their secular character.

2. Religious Instruction in Endowed or Trust-Based Institutions: Institutions managed by the state but established through a trust or endowment may offer religious instruction if mandated by the endowment's terms.

3. Voluntary Participation: Students in institutions recognised or aided by the state are not required to participate in religious instruction or worship unless they or their guardians consent, safeguarding individual freedom.

4. Protection of Individual Religious Freedom:
Article 28 supports individual choice, allowing students to choose their level of participation in religious activities in certain institutions while maintaining secular standards in government-funded schools.

Eg - Case Reference - Aruna Roy v. Union of India (2002): A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) challenged the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCFSE) as anti-secular.

The court ruled that Article 28 was not violated, permitting the study of religious philosophy as part of a value-based educational framework without promoting specific religious teachings.

Purpose of Article 28: it upholds secularism in publicly funded educational institutions, allowing freedom of belief while respecting individual rights to participate—or not participate—in religious activities.

Now solve Practice Question based on above -

Q. With reference to
Article 28 of the Indian Constitution, which of the following statements is/are correct?

1. Educational institutions wholly maintained by State funds are not permitted to provide religious instruction.

2. Educational institutions administered by the State but established under a trust may impart religious instruction.

3. Students attending educational institutions receiving State aid must participate in religious instruction if provided by the institution.

Goodmorning all,
Today we will read about
Article 27 which deals with Freedom from Payment of Taxes for Promotion of Any Religion.

Article 27 of the Indian Constitution ensures that no person is compelled to pay any tax specifically used for promoting or maintaining any particular religion or religious denomination.
This article upholds the principle of a secular state, protecting individuals from being forced to financially support religious activities through taxation.

Key points and examples include:
1. Prevention of Religious Funding via Taxation: Article 27 safeguards taxpayers by ensuring that public funds are not allocated to favor or promote any specific religion.
This provision promotes government neutrality in religious matters.

Some Imp Case laws - Sri Jagannath v. State of Orissa (1954): In this case, the court upheld a fee imposed on the religious institution, explaining that the annual contribution was a fee for administrative expenses, not a tax intended to promote religion, and thus did not violate Article 27.

Difference Between Tax and Fee: Taxes collected under Article 27 cannot be used to favor religious causes, but administrative fees may be charged for services, even if they involve religious institutions, as long as these fees support administration rather than religious promotion. Example - Nasima Khatun v. State of West Bengal (1981): Here, the Bengal Waqfs Act required contributions for educational purposes for economically disadvantaged students. The court ruled that this contribution was a fee, not a tax, thus falling outside Article 27.

Educational Content and Secular Instruction: Article 27 distinguishes between secular and religious education to prevent misuse of public funds for religious teaching. Example - P.M. Bhargava v. University Grants Commission (2004): The court held that the inclusion of Jyotish Vigyan (astrology) in a university curriculum was secular, not religious, making it permissible under Article 27.

Significance: Article 27 promotes secularism, ensuring the state does not endorse or advance any religion through taxpayers' money. This provision is vital in maintaining religious freedom, neutrality, and equality among all citizens.

Now solve a practice Question based on this -
Q. With reference to
‘Article -27’ of the Constitution, which of the following statement is/are correct?
1. Article 27 of the constitution provides that no person shall be compelled to pay any tax or fee for the promotion or maintenance of any particular religion or religious denomination.
2. The article would be violated if any tax collected in India were to be utilised for promotion and maintenance of any particular religious denomination.
Select the correct option using the code given below:
A. Only 1
B. Only 2
C. Both 1 and 2
D. None of the above

Ans - B (Only 2)

No person is compelled to pay any tax specifically used for promoting or maintaining any particular religion or religious denomination.
Taxes collected under Article 27 cannot be used to favor religious causes, but administrative fees may be charged for services, even if they involve religious institutions, as long as these fees support administration rather than religious promotion.

Good afternoon all,
Todays topic - Article 26 which deals with the Freedom to Manage Religious Affairs

But before that, you need to know certain concepts and definitions-

1. Essential Religious Practices - it is a doctrine evolved by the court to protect only such religious practices which were essential and integral to​ religion.
The term “religion” will cover all rituals and practices “integral” to a religion and took upon itself the responsibility of determining the essential and non-essential practices of a religion.​

For eg - SC lifted the ban that prevented women and girls between the age of 10 and 50 (mainly menstruating women) from entering the famous Ayyappa shrine in Kerala because it considered it as non essential practice and balanced freedom of religion with right to equality.

Another Eg - SC in 2019 gave directions for allowing Muslim women to enter mosques through the main door​ as it considered it as non essential practice and balanced freedom of religion with right to equality.


2. Religious Denominations (SP mittal case, 1993) -​ it should have
a. Common Organisation structure​
b. Distinct Name​
c. Group of individuals with shared set of beliefs.


Now Article 26 - It grants the freedom for every religious denomination or any section there of to manage its own religious affairs.
This includes:
1. Establishing and Maintaining Institutions: Religious groups have the right to set up and sustain institutions for religious and charitable purposes.
2. Managing Affairs: They can administer their religious matters freely, following essential religious practices.
3. Ownership and Acquisition of Property: Religious groups can own and acquire both movable and immovable property.
4. Administration: They are free to manage their properties according to the law.


Solve Practice Question based on this -
Q. Under Article 26 of the Indian Constitution, subject to public order, morality and health every religious denomination or any section thereof shall have the right:

A. To own and acquire movable and immovable property.

B. To manage its own affairs in matters of religion.

C. To establish and maintain institutions for religious and charitable purposes.

D. All of the above.

2. Ethephon. An organophosphorus pesticide. But classified as ‘growth hormone’. Releases natural ethylene for ripening. Approved by FSSAI for limited use.
But Ethephon is spray for ‘good looking fruits’.
Ethephon increases rate of anthocyanin synthesis that gives fruits their colour.

3. Ethephon can cause upper respiratory, neurological and liver problems. It can also cause cancers

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️.
Ab kya khaein!! What do we eat? Fruits for health is what we all learned growing up.

Good afternoon all,
Today we will learn a very simple topic - Article 22.

Here's a concept about detentions -
Preventive detentions - detention before a crime.
Punitive detentions - detention after a crime.
 Note -
Article 22(1) to 22(3) - Punitive Detentions.
Article 22(4) to 22(7) - Preventive detentions.

Now, Article 22 - it safeguards individuals, both citizens and non-citizens, against arbitrary arrest and detention.
Key Safeguards:
• Informed of Grounds (Article 22(1)): Anyone in custody must be informed of the reasons for their arrest and has the right to consult a lawyer.(Rt to be informed about grounds of arrest, Rt to consult Legal Practitioner)
• Presented to Magistrate (Article 22(2)): The detained person must be brought before a judicial magistrate within 24 hours of arrest. (Rt to be presented before judicial magistrate)
• Exceptions (Article 22(3)): These safeguards do not apply to:
• Enemy aliens & Persons detained under preventive detention laws.

Preventive Detention laws -
Article 22(4) - No law providing for preventive detention shall authorise the detention of a person for a longer period than 3 months unless an Advisory Board approves of it.

Article 22(5) - When a person is detained under preventive detention laws, the authority must inform them of the grounds for detention and provide the earliest opportunity to contest the order.

Article 22(6) - Authority is not required to disclose facts that they consider to be against the public interest

Article 22(7) - Parliament may by law specify conditions & types of cases where a person can be detained for more than three months under preventive detention laws without seeking an Advisory Board's opinion.

Navya , you posed this:

"The mis-alignment between what determines our fate and how we think of our identities have been a recipe for disaster"

What an amazing statement!!! and it has got so many layers to it. This will need some work unravelling.. And you all need to focus closely and stay with me as I do this..


This was mentioned in an Indian Express editorial I think , an analysis of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan's lecture entitled “The World’s Unborn Soul” . He delivered this in the capacity of Professor of Eastern Religion and Ethics at the University of Oxford.

I'm so glad you all are reading editorials🗞, and going deep inside.. Not just skimming through. These are excellent habits.. 🧘‍♂️Keep it up! It will take you places..

Dr Radhakrishnan is an institution! In this lecture he was speaking about the unity of the world and the role of politics, global community, ethics and strategic convenience.

It many layers to explore. We will go one by one. Every layer is essay worthy and you will find a ton of topics from this one article..

I am sending you all the link to the article if you havent already read.. Have a read and we will talk about this

Polity series- 14

Goodafternoon all,

Today will be a simple concept of Article 20.
Though UPSC has not touched it fully in prelims, it can be asked in upcoming prelims.

Article 20: Safeguards for Persons Accused of Crimes
it provides crucial protections for individuals accused of criminal offenses, safeguarding them from arbitrary and excessive punishment.

Key protections include:
1. No Ex-Post-Facto Law:
Article 20 prohibits punishment for an act that was not an offense when it was committed.
Laws cannot retroactively criminalize past actions, thus ensuring legal certainty and protecting individuals from sudden shifts in legal standards.
Example: If an act was legal in 2010 but criminalized in 2020, someone who committed the act in 2010 cannot be penalized under the 2020 law.

2. No Double Jeopardy:
Article 20 prevents individuals from being prosecuted and punished more than once for the same offense, adhering to the principle of finality in criminal justice.
Example: If a person is acquitted or convicted of theft once, they cannot face another trial and punishment for the same theft incident.
3. No Self-Incrimination:
Article 20 grants protection against compelled testimony that could incriminate the accused. Individuals cannot be forced to give oral or documentary evidence against themselves, securing their right to silence and personal autonomy.
Limitations: This protection does not cover the production of physical evidence, such as fingerprints, DNA samples, or bodily inspections.
Example: A suspect cannot be forced to confess or provide incriminating documents but may be required to give a fingerprint sample. However use of narco analysis etc is not allowed without consent of the accused as it is against rt to self incrimination.

These safeguards under Article 20 aligns with the principles of personal liberty, rule of law, and human dignity.

Now solve one practice question -

Q. Consider the following statements:
1. Article 20 of the constitution grants right against self-incrimination of the accused.
2. Use of narco analysis, brain-mapping by police is unconstitutional.
3. Article 22 of the constitution grants right against double jeopardy.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?

A. Only 1 and 2
B. Only 1 and 3
C. Only 3
D. Only 2 and 3

Ans - A

Good morning all,
Hope you are all well and good.
Today we will learn about the concept of liberty.

So what is liberty? -
Liberty means the freedom to act or choose as one wishes, balanced by a sense of responsibility and societal framework. It signifies freedom from oppressive restrictions, allowing individuals to live and express themselves without undue interference.


Aspects of Liberty:
1. Liberty has two core dimensions:
Negative Liberty (freedom from interference)
Positive Liberty (freedom to pursue one's potential)

Negative Liberty: it Focuses on the zone of non-interference, ensuring individuals have an inviolable space free from external constraints.
It emphasizes "freedom from" obstacles or restraints, necessary for personal autonomy.
Believes individuals require areas where they can act without interference to preserve human dignity and self-expression.

In short - Protects from interference; emphasizes individual autonomy.
Examples - freedom of speech, Privacy rights etc


Positive Liberty:
It Centers on the ability to act according to one's free will and develop one’s potential and is concerned with "freedom to" achieve one’s goals and improve personal conditions.
it Recognizes that poverty, unemployment, and social barriers should not impede personal development or access to resources.
In short - Focuses on enabling conditions that empower individuals to develop fully
Examples - access to education, healthcare, and employment to foster individual capabilities.


Based on this, Try to solve UPSC PYQ from 2019 -

Q. In the context of polity, which one of the following would you accept as the most appropriate definition of liberty?
(a) Protection against the tyranny of political rulers
(b) Absence of restraints

Good evening, everyone!

Today, let's dive into a straightforward yet vital topic: Article 17 – Abolition of Untouchability

What’s the deal with Article 17?

It completely abolishes untouchability in every form. And this is not just about communities; it’s even enforceable against private individuals!

Note: Neither the Constitution nor the Protection of Civil Rights Act of 1955 actually defines untouchability!

Important Case laws relatd to Untouchability -

Devarajan Case (1961): The Supreme Court ruled that Article 17 aims to end the horrible practice of treating people as "impure" simply because of their birth.
Appa Balu Ingale Case(1993): Here, the SC said untouchability is like hidden slavery, a dark legacy of the caste system. To really secure equality and a rule of law, it’s crucial to eradicate this system quickly!


Now solveUPSC 2020 Question -
Q. Which one of the following categores of Fundamental Rights includes protection against untouchability as discrimination?

A. Right against Exploitation
B. Right to Freedom
C. Right to Constitutional Remedies
D. Right to Equality
Answer: D (Right to Equality)

Polity series - 10

Goodafternoon all,

Topic for today is Judicial Review.


Judicial review, as referenced in Article 13 of the Indian Constitution, refers to the power of the judiciary to assess and review executive actions and legislative laws, ensuring their conformity with the Constitution. While the judiciary can declare actions or laws unconstitutional, it does not provide alternative solutions or suggestions.

This concept originated in the U.S. Constitution and is implicitly present in the writ jurisdiction of the Supreme Court under Article 32 and the High Courts under Article 226, specifically for the protection of fundamental rights. It’s important to note that the term "judicial review" is not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution.

Article 13 emphasizes that the state cannot enact any law that diminishes, abolishes, or contradicts fundamental rights. If any law violates these conditions, the judiciary can employ judicial review to strike down such laws, rendering them null and void.


Recognizing its significance, the Supreme Court, in the landmark Keshavananda Bharti case (1973), held that judicial review is part of the basic structure of the Constitution, and this power cannot be curtailed, even by constitutional amendments.

Key points on Article 13:
Article 13(1): Pre-constitutional laws inconsistent with fundamental rights are void.

Article 13(2): The state cannot take away fundamental rights; laws that contravene them are void.
Article 13(3): Provides a definition of "law."

Now, let’s look at a UPSC Prelims PYQ from 2017:

Q. In India, Judicial Review implies:
a) The power of the Judiciary to pronounce upon the constitutionality of laws and executive orders.
b) The power of the Judiciary to question the wisdom of laws enacted by the Legislature.
c) The power of the Judiciary to review all legislative enactments before they are assented to by the President.
d) The power of the Judiciary to review its own judgments given earlier in similar or different cases.

Ans: a)

Current Affairs Article -
An approaching milestone in constitutional governance - A summary
Source - The Hindu
Date - 22nd Oct
Author - C. Raj Kumar

November 26 marks the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Indian Constitution.
This occasion deserves celebration by every stakeholder in Indian democracy. Beyond just laws and regulations, it represents the development of a constitutional culture that resonates deeply across diverse cultures, faiths, and beliefs in India.

•Core Constitutional Values:

1.Respect for Democratic Institutions:
•Since its adoption in 1949, the Indian Constitution has fostered an enduring respect for democratic institutions.
•India’s rise in life expectancy from 32 years in 1949 to around 70 today showcases the role of progressive public policy.
•Indians continue to participate in elections in large numbers, with nearly 66% voter turnout in the 2024 general election.
•This faith in democracy reflects a core constitutional value that has stood the test of time.

2.Smooth Transition of Power:
•India's democracy is distinguished by the smooth transition of power after elections, irrespective of political ideology.
•While elections may be intense & sometimes divisive, the people’s will is respected, and power is peacefully transferred.
•This commitment to democratic transitions is a hallmark of India’s constitutional tradition.

3.Protection of Rights and Freedoms:
•The Constitution places immense importance on the protection of fundamental rights.
•The framers, who fought for India’s freedom, were wary of excessive state power and designed institutions like the judiciary to safeguard individual rights.
•This safeguarding of rights remains a vital constitutional value, continually evolving and strengthening.

4.Federalism:
•India’s federal structure was designed to accommodate the country's vast diversity, including linguistic and cultural pluralism.
•The rise of State-level political parties and the 73rd and 74th Amendments, which decentralized power to panchayats and urban local bodies, have deepened federalism.
•The Constitution promotes equity and inclusivity through special provisions for various regions, ensuring balanced development.

5.Role of Media and Civil Society:it play a crucial role in shaping India’s democracy by ensuring transparency and disseminating information.
•Despite challenges, media has empowered citizens to make informed choices, reflecting its contribution to democratic culture.
•Forging National Identity:
India’s Constitution has successfully united the country, proving wrong the early skeptics who doubted the viability of a single nation. It remains a guiding instrument for building national unity, fostering social conscience, and promoting political consciousness.
We celebrate 75 years of constitutional governance, an enduring testament to India's democratic values and social resilience.

Keytakeaways - Concepts/Keywords to use in GS for Answer writing.
1.Constitutional governance
2.Constitutional culture
3.Core Constitutional values
4.Democratic Institutions
5.Linguistic diversity
6.panchayati raj institutions

Importance of Keywords - We can say that Keywords makes an answer complete.
For example, In a question on DPSP, using terms like "welfare state" or "social justice", Article 37,38,39 etc to make your answer relevant and make a Polity answer.
(Generally students do mistake of writing vague answers, their opinions, interpretations in an answer rather than attending to demand of the question.
Further, students know the idea - what to write but do not know the concise, compact word.
Here Keywords comes to the rescue. it helps in:
1. Stay on topic and avoid irrelevant details.
2. Highlight important aspects.
3. Keep answers precise within the time & word limit.
In short, using the right keywords increases your chances of scoring higher.

Polity Series-9

Hello everyone, Hope you are well and fine.

Today, we will explore Article 14, which has two key components: Equality before Law and Equal Protection of Laws.

1. Equality Before Law
Concept: A negative concept, derived from the UK Constitution, which restricts the state from engaging in any arbitrary discrimination among individuals. It emphasizes that no one is above the law, ensuring the uniform application of laws.
Principle: There should be no special privileges in favor of or against any individual. All persons are subject to the ordinary laws of the land.


2. Equal Protection of Laws
Concept: A positive concept, borrowed from the US Constitution. It refers to equality of treatment under similar circumstances.
Principle: It recognizes that people in unequal circumstances should not be treated equally. The state can apply positive discrimination on a reasonable basis to ensure fairness.
Examples:
a. Progressive taxation: In India, those earning more than ₹30 lakhs are taxed at higher rates than those earning less than ₹10 lakhs.

b. Reservation policies: Socially and educationally backward groups are given certain benefits in education and employment to promote social justice.

However there are some
Exceptions to Article 14
Article 361: Grants certain privileges to the President and Governors.
Diplomatic Immunities: Diplomats enjoy legal immunity under international law.
Article 105 & Article 194: Provide privileges to MPs and MLAs, respectively.


Now, based on this knowledge, let's solve some previous year questions (PYQs):

2017
One of the implications of equality in society is the absence of:
(a) Privileges
(b) Restraints
(c) Competition
(d) Ideology
Answer: (a) Privileges


2004
List I
A. Article 14
B. Article 15
C. Article 16
D. Article 17
List II

1. The State shall not discriminate against any citizen on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex, place of birth, or any term.

2. The State shall not deny to any person equality before the law or equal protection of the laws within India.

3. ‘Untouchability’ is abolished, and its practice is forbidden.

4. There shall be equality of opportunity in public employment.
Select the correct code:
(a) A-2, B-4, C-1, D-3
(b) A-3, B-1, C-4, D-2
(c) A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3
(d) A-3, B-4, C-1, D-2

Answer: (c) A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3

Good afternoon, everyone!

Today, we will delve into another important and frequently asked UPSC topic – the concept of Rule of Law. This concept holds great significance, and UPSC has asked about it twice in the 2018 exam.
Let's begin:
The Rule of Law originated in England and was introduced by A.V. Dicey. It encompasses several key principles:
1.Equality before the law – No individual is above the law; all are equal in its eyes.
2.No special privileges – There are no special rights or privileges for any individual or group.
3.Non-discrimination – No distinction is made on the basis of religion, race, caste, sex, etc.
4.Fair trial – No one can be punished without a fair and just trial.
5.Protection of rights – It aims to safeguard political and civil rights of individuals.
6.Limitation of arbitrary power – The Rule of Law ensures that the executive cannot exercise unchecked or arbitrary powers.


In India, a part of this concept is embodied in Article 14 of the Constitution, which provides for Equality before Law.

Now, let's tackle a basic question related to Rule of Law, which was asked in the 2018 exam:

Q1. Which of the following are regarded as the main features of the "Rule of Law"? (2018)
1. Limitation of powers
2. Equality before law
3. People’s responsibility to the Government
4. Liberty and civil rights
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
(a) 1 and 3 only
(b) 2 and 4 only
(c) 1, 2, and 4 only
(d) 1, 2, 3, and 4
Ans - C

Q2. “Rule of Law Index" is released by which of the following? (2018)
(a) Amnesty International
(b) International Court of Justice
(c) The office of UN Commissioner for Human Rights
(d) World Justice Project
Ans - D

Polity Series - 7

Good afternoon all,
I Hope you are enjoying Polity series.
Today we will learn & apply concept of writs.

Why to study this topic?
The Concept of Writs is important for UPSC prelims and some writs have been UPSC favorites like Mandamus.

So,
What are Writs?
1. Writs are a written order from the Supreme Court or High Court that commands constitutional remedies for Indian Citizens against the violation of their fundamental rights.​

2. The Supreme Court and High Courts have the authority to issue writs to uphold fundamental rights​.

3. Further, the Territorial Jurisdiction of Supreme Court is broader than of a High Court.

4. However, High Courts writ jurisdiction is wider than Supreme Court as it can issue writs for both - Fundamental rights and Legal rights. (Compared to SC, who can issue writs just for fundamental rts)

5. The Indian Constitution provides five types of writs under Articles 32 and 226 to safeguard fundamental rights.
These writs are crucial tools for judicial review and enforce fundamental rights: 
1. Habeas Corpus (To produce the body): 
This writ is used to challenge unlawful detention. It compels authorities to present the detained person in court. Any person can approach the court for affected persons.
