Constitutional Developments in India

After adaptation of the Constitution of India, the judiciary is making relentless efforts to see that no citizen is deprived or denied of justice keeping in view the philosophy, ideology, objectives and vision of the constitution framers. Padma Vibhushan Justice Sri P.N. Bhagwati is one among those judges who strived to achieve the goals enshrined in the Preamble of the Indian Constitution. Dr.B.R. Ambedkar, the Drafting Committee Chairman of the Indian Constitution said that the object in framing the constitution is two fold the first one is to lay down the form of political democracy and the second one is to lay down that our ideal is economic democracy and also to prescribe that every Government whatever is in power, shall strive to bring about economic democracy. This has been effectively followed and implemented by Justice Bhagwati, with creative judicial interpretations, humanistic approaches by giving importance to the Directive Principles. It is through PIL that not only the problems of the poor but also the issues involving national interests like corruption on the part of Governments and its servants are now coming to the forefront.
