    To a great extent, the Supreme Court of India finds its strength in Article 21 of the Constitution, for the reason that much of its judicial activism has been based on interpreting the scope of this Article. Majority of the PIL cases have been filed under this Article only. The Supreme Court is now known as an activist court. There has been no change in the words used in Article 21, but there has been a change in the way it has been interpreted. The scope of the Article has expanded considerably post the Maneka Gandhi decision. This will be critically analysed in the following few pages.…

    A great transformation in the judicial attitude towards the safeguard of personal liberty has been noticed after the horrible experiences of the infamous 1975 national emergency. The judicial pronouncement before the case of Maneka Gandhi Vs Union of India (1978) were not satisfactory in providing adequate protection to the ‘right to life and personal liberty’ guaranteed under Article 21 of the constitution of India . Maneka Gandhi Vs Union of India (AIR 1978 SC 597) is a landmark judgment and played the most significant role towards the transformation of the judicial view on Article 21 of the constitution of India so as to imply many more fundamental rights from Article 21.…

    Even though the judiciary decries the principle to express its helplessness as it is still haunted by this old doctrine. The law being the mechanism to regulate the behavior of the people it is necessary to make it as a predictable working system. The Law Commission in its report recommended to modify the existing law and introduced the bill to amend the law to make the state liable like any other ordinary person. It asked why the government should not be placed in the same position like that of a private employer subject to the same rights and duties imposed by the state. After evaluating similar laws existing in different countries, the government introduced a bill in the Parliament on August 31, 1965 but it lapsed and this was reintroduced in 1967, 1969. If there is a failure on the part of parliament to introduce reforms through legislation it would appear quite feasible for the Supreme Court in its present face of activism to overrule the lingering old principle and to do away with the so called immunity for sovereign functions. It is necessary to go through the similar laws existing in U.K & USA and in…
