About the Conference
In India, the current system of Access to Justice through courts is founded on adversarial legalism. In most common-law nations, the adversarial system of law is used, which is defined by the State’s neutrality and the parties’ responsibility for initiating and conducting litigation, except for criminal cases, when the State initiates the proceedings. This system of Access to Justice is a British legacy that was designed by the British government to exploit the Indian people.
After India’s independence, when the Constitution of India was adopted, and an attempt was made to create parity of power in dispute resolution methods, the manner of Access to Justice was revised and adjusted. The preamble of the Indian Constitution pledges to guarantee social, economic, and political equality to the people.
Furthermore, Article 14 of the Indian Constitution states: “Equality before the Law — The State must not deny to any person within the territory of India equality before the law and equal protection of the laws.” The term “Equal Protection of the Laws” signifies two things: first, that everyone has the right to be protected under all applicable laws, and second, that everyone in Indian territory is equally entitled to such safe keeping.
To outline the relationship between the concept of Justice and the Constitution in India. examine the discourse on Justice and Equity, especially in relation to the Indian Constitution. Look into legal theory and its applicability on law-making and policy, in order to attain the ideal of a just and fair legal system based upon rights. Observe the impact of Law, Morality, and Justice on our everyday lives.
