Allahabad High Court's Contribution In Protecting The Human Rights And Personal Liberties Of The People

Live Law  

The High Court of Allahabad is making a great contribution towards the cause of protecting the human rights and personal liberties of the people during these difficult Corona times when they need more judicial protection from the executive excesses. In many cases, the High Court of Allahabad has delivered landmark verdicts that have strengthened the rule of law in the state and reminded the government about its constitutional duties to protect people's fundamental rights and dignity as per the letter and spirit of the Constitution which is the supreme law of the land. It is apposite to state that the violations of constitutional rights of the petitioner as laid out by the High Court in Siddiqui's case suggest a calculated executive practice used against some people who do not fall in line with the political views or agenda of the government of the day. Allahabad High Court's most important statement in Siddiqui's case: "when the law gives the executive 'extraordinary power' to detain someone without recourse to usual laws or legal trial, the executive must exercise the power with "extreme care" clearly upholds this requirement. The High Court of Allahabad deserves credit for breaking this disquieting pattern during a crucial time when personal liberties are in danger and people look towards the judiciary for protection.
